H.R. No. 109
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The HL RadioTV 106.5 FM and 30.6 TV annual Lunar New
Year celebration at Ben Thanh Plaza in Arlington has become a highly
anticipated local tradition; and
WHEREAS, Formerly known as Dallas Vietnamese Radio, HL
RadioTV 106.5 FM and 30.6 TV is the first radio and television
station to serve the North Texas Vietnamese community around the
clock and all year long; from its studios in the Ben Thanh Plaza in
East Arlington, HL RadioTV broadcasts news from Dallas, Houston,
and California five times a day during the week, while also
providing its listeners with contemporary and classical music,
interviews with notable people, sports coverage, and other
informative and entertaining programming; and
WHEREAS, The station has held a Lunar New Year celebration
each year since 2004; embracing the cultures of China, Korea,
Vietnam, and other countries, the festival, which begins with the
first new moon of the lunar calendar, is one of the most important
religious and cultural events for people of Asian heritage; this
special holiday ushers in the spring season, when members of the
Asian community reflect on the past and make plans for the future,
and it is celebrated with a variety of vibrant traditions that are
intended to bring prosperity, good health, and happiness to oneself
and others; and
WHEREAS, Since its inception, the HL RadioTV 106.5 FM and
30.6 TV Lunar New Year celebration has been a popular gathering for
area residents, and it contributes greatly to the cultural
diversity and richness of North Texas; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commemorate the HL RadioTV
106.5 FM and 30.6 TV annual Lunar New Year celebration and extend to
the organizers and attendees sincere best wishes for a meaningful
and memorable event; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for HL RadioTV 106.5 FM and 30.6 TV as an expression of
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
