H.R. No. 1426
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Wild Hog Hunt Committee of the Gilmer Area
Chamber of Commerce has been recognized with the chamber's 2010 Top
Hand Award for organizing the inaugural Upshur County Hog Wild
Hunting Tournament; and
WHEREAS, The Gilmer Area Chamber of Commerce presents the Top
Hand Award to a chamber committee that has excelled in its mission;
the members of the Wild Hog Hunt Committee were tasked with staging
the hunt as a fund-raiser, and in less than three months' time they
had everything ready; held on April 9-11, 2010, the successful
tournament raised money for the chamber while helping to cull the
growing population of feral hogs, which have become a problem
across the state; and
WHEREAS, Led by Chair Jeff Dodd, the other volunteers who
made up the committee were Jim Barnhart, Michael Blanks, Ike
Fluellen, Troy Murray, Becky Skinner, Byron Spencer, Mike Spencer,
Brandon Wilson, Jennifer Wilson, and Chane Young; and
WHEREAS, Through their hard work and deft organizational
skills, the members of the Wild Hog Hunt Committee have both helped
to further the programs of the Gilmer Area Chamber of Commerce and
directly assisted their community, and they can indeed take pride
in a job well done; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Wild Hog Hunt Committee of the
Gilmer Area Chamber of Commerce on receiving that organization's
Top Hand Award and extend to the committee members sincere best
wishes for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the committee as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
