Recognizing a Shumla Hero

FEBRUARY 2019

Last Tuesday, the Shumla Team had the opportunity to recognize a Board Member and friend who has meant the world to our organization, Bill Cauthorn of Del Rio.

Bill was president of the Bank & Trust in Del Rio way back in 2003 when Carolyn Boyd (Shumla's Founder) walked in with Missy Harrington to open Shumla's first bank account. Bill welcomed them and offered to help in any way he could. That was not an idle offer. Bill went on to become a Board Member and even Chair of the Shumla Board of Directors.

Under Bill's leadership, The Bank & Trust became one of Shumla's biggest financial supporters. Bill's passion for Shumla truly changed the trajectory of our young organization. His support and expertise has been instrumental in our ability to grow into a world-renowned leader in rock art study and education.

Thank you, Bill Cauthorn and

Bank & Trust for many years of

support and friendship!
