encourages rural counties to pool their resources in order to
promote economic and community development in the area; the

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 Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
