	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 161
	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
	welcome the Grayson County delegation to Austin on the occasion
	of Grayson County Day at the Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, Grayson County was established by an act of the
	1st Texas Legislature in 1846 and is named for Peter W. Grayson,
	an attorney general for the Republic of Texas; the act specified
	that the county seat be named in honor of Sidney Sherman, a leader
	at the Battle of San Jacinto, resulting in the town of Sherman
	being one of the few communities in the state named by an act of
	the legislature; and
	WHEREAS, Grayson County has through the years been a center
	for agriculture and manufacturing; in 1891, the world's largest
	cottonseed oil mill was established in the county, and today, the
	county is home to such commercial entities as Tyson Foods, Black
	and Decker, and Texas Instruments; and
	WHEREAS, The Grayson County delegation includes members of
	the Sherman Chamber of Commerce and the Denison Area Chamber of
	Commerce; these exemplary organizations offer invaluable
	resources to both local citizens and their respective business
	communities; and
	WHEREAS,




	WHEREAS, The Denison Area Chamber of Commerce has for more
	than 100 years worked to encourage growth and enhance the quality
	of life for residents; among its many successes is the role its
	board played in the creation of Lake Texoma, which is one of the
	world's largest reservoirs; and
	WHEREAS, The citizens of Grayson County are confidently
	facing the future while continuing to cherish their rich and
	colorful past; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
	Legislature, hereby commend the people of Grayson County on their
	many contributions to the growth and prosperity of the state and
	extend to the county's delegation best wishes for a memorable
	Grayson County Day; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
	honor of this special occasion.

	Estes
