We also paid tribute to the Men and Women who serve as our First Responders in Royse City. Lt. Eavenson presented Officer John Bivens the “Police Officer of the Year” award and Fire Chief Ricky Bell presented the “Firefighter of the Year” award to Russell Thomas. We are proud to have both of these gentlemen serving our community along with all of the service men and women who put their lives on the line everyday for us.
