December 2015 * Vol. 67 No. 12
Shane Salyer, 2015 President
We are on the verge of closing out another year!
We had great successes on each of our events
and I want to thank all those that had a hand in
each. From the Home & Garden Show, to the
Parade of Homes, to the Fall Tour of Homes, it
takes many people to coordinate these events.
Starting with the chairmen, all those that served
on committees, and to those that volunteered to
work, your efforts are greatly appreciated! Additionally, thanks to everyone that has helped
give back to our community through generous
giving to the Homes for Heroes project and the
Auxiliary this year.
Please make plans to attend our Annual Installation Banquet, which will be on December 4th at
the Lubbock Country Club. We are looking forward to our new leadership… Jordan Wheatley President, Mitchell Anderson – Vice President
and Dan Wilson – Secretary/Treasurer and all of
our newly elected Directors.
The groundbreaking for our new building is going to
be on December 15th at 11:00 am. The weather is going to be great, so please try to make it out. If you’re
not familiar with our new location yet, it’s at the intersection of 72nd and Kewanee (just east of Milwaukee,
next to Zack’s Club). This is a very exciting time, considering how long we have been discussing, planning
and coordinating this project. I especially want to
thank Jordan Wheatley, who has spearheaded this project and has done a fabulous job. Along with Jordan, I
would also like to recognize the efforts of David Miller, Robert Wood and Mike Becknal. These men have
teamed up, volunteering their time and knowledge, to
be the lead builders. This is a tremendous commitment! They have already invested a significant amount
of effort, just to get us to this point.
I want to thank Brand Source - Radio Lab for their
cash and in-kind donation to our All In Capital Campaign totaling $62,489 for the naming rights of the new
kitchen! Thanks to everyone that has donated so far.
Our fundraising campaign will continue throughout the
building process, so if you haven’t contributed yet,
there is still time!
It has been a tremendous honor to serve as the President of this Association! I would like to thank everyone for your continued support of our Association and
look forward to our continued success in years to
come.

By Zelda Cuevas
It’s hard to believe that 2015 is just about to be over and with that being said, this will be my last
President’s article. It’s been a great year and we have accomplished so many great things.
We started the year off with our Annual Cook Off which was a huge success. A special thanks
goes out to Julie McMahan and her committee for a wonderful event and an awesome new location. Our scholarship committee, headed up by Lacie Walton, gave out a record 30 scholarship
awards to our member’s children. Thank you Lacie, for you and your committees tireless efforts
with this!! We started a new tradition this year with our Presidential Scholarship. This scholarship recipient, chosen by the Auxiliary President, was awarded to a student that was in desperate
need of our organization’s help in order to be able to attend college. Lastly, our Annual Silent
Auction exceeded our expectations and raised thousands of dollars for future scholarships and
community service projects. Kudos to Melissa Anderson, Joanie Coles and their committee for
putting on a class act for the Silent Auction.
Once again, THANK YOU for allowing me to be your President this year. I know that the incoming President, Lori Martin, will lead this group to great heights
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!
