| 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. | ||
