Board President's Memo

Bertha Rodriguez

Congratulations to our Chamber staff for their recent awards from the Texas Chamber of Commerce Executives. We were recognized for excellence in five categories: First Place – Newsletter, First Place – Marketing, First Place – Brochures, First Place – Social Media and Second Place – Directories.

We are blessed to have Juan working for us. The recent awards are proof of the caliber of people we have at the Chamber, Ambassadors and Board. We are looking to assist our members in any way possible.

We are right in the middle of the summer and before long, we will be getting the kids ready to go back to school. Next month is the tax free holiday. Take advantage of getting your kids ready by buying locally. Most of our stores have what we need to get them back to school on the right foot.

Are you paying too much for your electric bill? The Chamber’s electric coalition program can help you bring down the cost of your bill. This is only exclusive to Chamber members and for businesses only. The electric coalition is an aggregate billing program that shops for the lowest electric provider for you. There is no obligation to sign a contract to get a price quote. Contact Juan for more information.

One final note, our Chamber Golf Tourney is this month. We want to thank all our sponsors especially Mi Casa Home Health Agency – Hole-In-One Sponsor and U Can Do it Rental and Leases LLC for sponsoring our lunch. We look forward to seeing as many golfers out there on July 27^th at the Alice Municipal Golf Course.
