H.R. No. 1267
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Brazoria County Association for Citizens with
Handicaps is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its founding on
April 13, 2013; and
WHEREAS, Known as BACH Rehabilitation Center, the
organization was formed in 1973 and chartered by the State of Texas
two years later; since its inception, it has worked to support the
growth and learning process of children with developmental delays
and disabilities, so they may reach their full potential; and
WHEREAS, BACH was originally located in a modest room donated
by Angleton Danbury General Hospital, but thanks to generous
community support through the years, the center has moved to
increasingly larger spaces to accommodate its growing needs; today,
BACH occupies its own building on the Angleton Danbury Medical
Center campus, and it has satellite offices in Lake Jackson and
Alvin; and
WHEREAS, BACH carries out its mission to "help children with
special needs achieve" through two initiatives; its Early Childhood
Intervention Program works with infants and toddlers and their
families, and its Support Services Program offers free recreational
and educational opportunities for children up to age 12; and
WHEREAS, For four decades, BACH Rehabilitation Center has
made a positive difference in the lives of numerous young Texans in
Brazoria County, and it is a pleasure to honor the organization for
its commitment to the physical, emotional, and social well-being of
children with special needs; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Brazoria
County Association for Citizens with Handicaps and extend to all
those affiliated with BACH sincere best wishes for continued
success with their important work; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the center as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
