Grateful for the FISD Ag Science Students who built the 250-gallon smoker pit and trailer - a great example of how the business community can collaborate with FISD to create unique learning experiences for our students.
Grateful for Augusta Vin hosting the Fun After Five the evening before the tournament, which was our largest of the year and helped us set a record for pre-tournament raffle ticket sales. Augusta Vin also sponsored the players’ reception after the tournament.
Grateful for the volunteers who set up at 6:30am, delivering tables to each hole for the hole sponsors and then returning after the tournament to pick up the tables.
Grateful for Hill Country Titles sponsoring the players’ breakfast. Event after event we can always count on Hill Country Titles to be a sponsor.
Grateful for the 21 businesses that donated products and gift cards for the raffle.
Grateful for the hole and putting green sponsors. Many of the hole sponsors provided beverages and food to keep the golfers nourished and offered the proper “swing juice.”
Grateful for 120 golfers who played on a humid day.
Finally, grateful to be trusted to lead this amazing organization. Our Chamber’s members do so much for our community, and always with humility.
