WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize the certified retirement communities in Texas, which | ||
play an important role in attracting retirees to desirable | ||
retirement locations within the Lone Star State; and | ||
WHEREAS, Marketing the appeal of Texas as a retirement | ||
destination benefits all Texans; retirees contribute socially | ||
and economically to the state in which they retire by bringing | ||
volunteerism, experience, and a wealth of knowledge to their | ||
communities and generating a substantial positive economic | ||
impact; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Texas Department of Agriculture administers | ||
the GO TEXAN Certified Retirement Community program to assist | ||
Texas communities in encouraging retirees to make their home in a | ||
Texas certified retirement community; and | ||
WHEREAS, Today's younger and more active retirees seek | ||
communities that can fit their lifestyle; the GO TEXAN stamp of | ||
approval ensures that each certified community has demonstrated | ||
an ability to meet the living, employment, volunteer, health, | ||
entertainment, education, and safety needs of citizens; and | ||
WHEREAS, The GO TEXAN Certified Retirement Community | ||
program and its participants are truly worthy of recognition for | ||
their efforts in promoting Texas as a desirable retirement | ||
destination; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd | ||
Legislature, hereby commend the communities that have earned the | ||
title of GO TEXAN Certified Retirement Community and recognize | ||
April 20, 2011, as "Retire in Texas Day"; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
the certified retirement communities as an expression of high | ||
regard from the Texas Senate. | ||
