Summary

HR2283 is a resolution by the Texas House of Representatives that recognizes SOCIALIFE News Magazine for its significant contributions to the community of the Rio Grande Valley. Established in November 2004 by entrepreneur Pepe Cabeza de Vaca, SOCIALIFE was created to showcase the efforts of local nonprofit organizations and raise awareness of their activities throughout the region. The bill commends the magazine for its support of various charitable organizations such as the American Cancer Society and American Diabetes Association, thereby acknowledging the important role it plays in highlighting community initiatives.

Contention
