| WHEREAS, Founded in 1974, Corpus Christi Ballet has | ||

| professionals as they entertain and educate captivated | ||

| Award-winning dancer, producer, and choreographer; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Corpus Christi Ballet has enriched the lives of | ||
| thousands of dancers, aspiring performers, and patrons of the | ||
| arts in the Lone Star State, and its 50th anniversary is truly | ||
| cause for celebration; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend the company members, directors, and | ||
| supporters of Corpus Christi Ballet for their outstanding | ||
| contributions to this exemplary cultural institution in South | ||
