| Turn Award by the Boy Scouts of America's East Texas Area Council | ||
| on December 7, 2021; and | ||
| WHEREAS, After previously serving as president of the | ||
| Minnesota Industrial Development Council, Tom Mullins became | ||
| head of the Tyler Economic Development Council in 1989; he took | ||

| steadfast commitment to education and youth development in | ||
| Tyler; his interest in promoting educational opportunities has | ||
| led him to support the growth of The University of Texas at Tyler | ||

| the future; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Over the past three decades, Tom Mullins has | ||
| personified the qualities of character and good citizenship that | ||

| take pride in all that he has accomplished in behalf of his | ||
| community as he accepts this well-deserved honor; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th | ||
| Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby congratulate Tom Mullins | ||
| on his receipt of the Distinguished Citizen Good Turn Award from | ||
| the Boy Scouts of America's East Texas Area Council and extend to | ||

| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
| prepared for Mr. Mullins as an expression of high regard from the | ||
| Texas Senate. | ||
