  H.R. No. 1859
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, The Arlington Dragon Boat Festival Race for
  Education is being held on June 15, 2019; and
         WHEREAS, The event is presented by the Southwest Region of
  the U.S. Pan Asian American Chamber of Commerce Education
  Foundation; founded in 1984, the national nonprofit represents the
  Asian American community in business, sports, education, public
  services, and the arts and sciences; and
         WHEREAS, Part of an annual worldwide celebration, the dragon
  boat race honors the poignant saga of Qu Yuan, a minister in a
  Warring State government of ancient China who is said to have taken
  his own life in the Miluo River after being slandered by corrupt
  officials; upon hearing of his death, people rushed out in their
  boats, beating drums and splashing the water with their paddles to
  keep fish and evil spirits away from his body; and
         WHEREAS, The Asian American community plays a vital role in
  the business, professional, and cultural life of Texas, and the
  Dragon Boat Festival provides a fitting opportunity to recognize
  the many contributions of its members; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
  Legislature hereby commemorate the 2019 Arlington Dragon Boat
  Festival Race for Education and extend to the Southwest Region of
  the U.S. Pan Asian American Chamber of Commerce Education
  Foundation sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for the organization as an expression of high regard by the
  Texas House of Representatives.
