WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to join | ||
the Bryan/College Station Chamber of Commerce and the citizens of | ||
Bryan and College Station in celebrating February 4, 2015, as | ||
Bryan-College Station Day at the State Capitol; and | ||
WHEREAS, These neighboring cities are situated in the | ||
rolling hills of the Brazos Valley; Bryan is named in honor of | ||
William Joel Bryan, a nephew of Stephen F. Austin, who donated | ||
land for the town site; College Station is named after the post | ||
office that was established along the railway and served the | ||
faculty and students of the Agricultural and Mechanical College | ||
of Texas, now called Texas A&M University; and | ||
WHEREAS, Texas A&M University is one of the largest public | ||
universities in the nation and home to the George Bush Presidential | ||
Library and Museum, which chronicles the administration of | ||
President George Herbert Walker Bush; and | ||
WHEREAS, Due to the leadership of the Bryan/College Station | ||
Chamber of Commerce, the two cities provide excellent business | ||
opportunities for established companies and for innovative | ||
entrepreneurs; and | ||
WHEREAS, Bryan and College Station offer the services and | ||
amenities of a vibrant metropolitan area while also providing the | ||
warm appeal and charm typical of a small town; it is truly fitting | ||
that a day be set aside to celebrate their many contributions to | ||
the growth and prosperity of our state; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th | ||
Legislature, hereby welcome the delegation from Bryan and | ||
College Station to Austin and extend to them best wishes for a | ||
memorable Bryan-College Station Day at the State Capitol; and, be | ||
it further | ||
