WHEREAS, The McCamey Chamber of Commerce has celebrated an
impressive milestone with the commemoration of its 50th anniversary
in 2009; and
WHEREAS, Situated on the windswept plains east of the Pecos
River, McCamey is a warm-hearted community of hardworking citizens;
the town was named for oil wildcatter George B. McCamey, who brought
in a discovery well nearby in 1925; a townsite company was
established the next day, and within six months, the new community
of McCamey numbered 10,000; and
WHEREAS, Still an important center for oil and ranching,
McCamey has also become a center for wind energy, generated by long
rows of giant turbines silhouetted against the vast West Texas sky;
and
WHEREAS, Since 1959, the McCamey Chamber of Commerce has
contributed greatly to the friendly business environment of McCamey
and Upton County, and its members may take great pride in their
achievements over the years; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the McCamey Chamber of Commerce on
its 50th anniversary and extend to its members sincere best wishes
for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the McCamey Chamber of Commerce as an expression of
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
