Honoring the Village of Baltimore on its Two Hundredth Anniversary.

WHEREAS, The members of the House of Representatives of the 136th General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to pay tribute to the Village of Baltimore on its Bicentennial; and

WHEREAS, This is, indeed, an auspicious milestone, and celebration is certainly in order. Since the establishment of Baltimore two centuries ago, its residents have experienced dramatic growth and change, and yet, even as they have exuberantly embraced the promise of a bright future, they have never relinquished their appreciation for the worthiest virtues of the past. Without sacrificing their sense of tradition in the name of progress, the people of Baltimore have managed to nurture a fresh perspective and a positive outlook that endear this distinctive place to all who know it well; and

WHEREAS, Two hundred years after it was founded, the Village of Baltimore still radiates vitality, optimism, and a charm all its own. Clearly, it is a place of many engaging qualities, and its schools, businesses, and civic organizations both embody and thrive upon the values of which our flag is an emblem; and

WHEREAS, Every state depends upon such durable communities as Baltimore for its own survival and stability. Although it has known adversity and tribulation, it has also been favored with its share of blessings. In the years to come, the village is sure to remain on its admirable course and to continue to transform challenges into opportunities; therefore be it

RESOLVED, That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 136th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, extend our congratulations to the Village of Baltimore as it observes its Two Hundredth Anniversary and offer our best wishes for its perennial good fortune; and be it further
