| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize the South East Arlington Property Owners and Paloma | ||
| Resources on their foresight and community spirit in | ||
| establishing a scholarship fund and to congratulate the | ||
| recipients of the fund's first five scholarships; and | ||
| WHEREAS, These two exemplary organizations have come | ||
| together to award a series of scholarships to deserving local | ||
| students; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The groundwork for this effort was laid five years | ||
| ago when Paloma Resources donated $100,000 to begin a scholarship | ||
| fund to be augmented with royalties from the proceeds of a | ||
| gas-drilling contract negotiated with South East Arlington | ||
| Property Owners; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Receiving these scholarships are Derek Rodriquez, | ||
| Sydney Ann Szmuc, and Chandra Hamilton of Arlington High School | ||
| and Mykayla Coates and Relius Johnson of Bowie High School; these | ||
| young scholars earned the grants by maintaining 3.0 grade-point | ||
| averages, participating in extracurricular activities, and | ||
| writing an essay on educational goals and patriotism; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Education plays a major role in the state's growth | ||
| and prosperity, and the example set by these two outstanding | ||
| organizations can be a viable model for future partnerships; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd | ||
| Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend the South East | ||
| Arlington Property Owners and Paloma Resources on their | ||
| scholarship initiative and extend congratulations to the | ||
| recipients of the first set of scholarships from their | ||
| groundbreaking agreement; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| them as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
