recreational opportunities; and

encourages rural counties to pool their resources in order to
promote economic and community development in the area; the
counties of Wheeler, Donley, Collingsworth, Briscoe, Hall,
Childress, Motley, Cottle, Foard, and Hardeman have all benefited
from the partnership's work; and
WHEREAS, The leadership and services provided by the Rolling
Plains Communities Partnership have assisted numerous Texans, and
this outstanding organization is truly deserving of recognition;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby recognize March 5, 2013, as Rolling Plains Day
at the State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation best
wishes for a meaningful and memorable visit to Austin.
