Rewards for jobs well done

At recent Chamber events, several 2006 Lone Star Legislative Summit coordinators were recognized for all of their hard work that made the first legislative summit a success.

Each were presented with "Texas Forever" prints created by artist Harold Coats. The presentations were gestures of appreciation from Stan Lenox with Rep. Roy Blake, Jr.'s office.
