You won't want to miss the
Liberty-Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce 40th Annual Awards Banquet to be held 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, February 23, 2016 at the Dayton Community Center.
The evening will begin with the posting of the colors by the JROTC Color Guard
and the singing of the National Anthem by LHS Senior Sierra Morrison.
The Annual Awards Banquet is special in that the Citizen of the Year for Dayton and also for Liberty will be announced. This award is given to an outstanding person in the Dayton-Liberty area who unselfishly volunteers his or her time, over a long period of time, in service and kindness to others. The action - 'lifestyle' if you will - of the recipient has unknowingly been observed by others who see and realize the outstanding traits of this person. To find such favor among your peers for your outstanding personal quality is certainly a noteworthy personal achievement. Year 2014 recipients Brady Hanson of Dayton and Jimmy Sterling of Liberty will make the presentation.
Master of Ceremonies is City of Liberty Municipal Judge Mike Little. Caterer is Ken Owens, who will be serving tenderloin of pork, potatoes, a vegetable, salad and a beverage. Dessert will be delicious cake in celebration of the 40-year anniversary as Liberty-Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce, Incorporated.
The banquet begins at 6:30 p.m. Banquet sponsors will be treated to a nice reception prior to the banquet at 5:30 p.m. Thank you to our sponsors to date: Platinum - First Liberty National Bank; Houston Methodist San Jacinto Hospital; Gold: Lee College; Magnolia Place Health Care; Security State Bank - A Division of Post Oak Bank; Southeast Texas Olive; Texas First Bank; Silver; Carol Bond Health Foods; Cedar Grove RV Park; CenterPoint Energy; Dayton Electric Company; KSHN 99.9 FM; Prosperity Bank; and Truckville, Texas.
