AWARDS LUNCHEON RECAPby Julia Bryant
Having the opportunity to recognize outstanding individuals in our
community is always the highlight of the year at our annual Awards
Luncheon and Recognition & Induction of Board Members. Royse
City is unique in that its citizens and employers have such a strong
connection to the area. That is why it is so difficult to choose only
one person to be presented each award every year.
Bobby Montgomery, Director of Marketing at Lake Pointe Medical
Center, once again did an outstanding job as our Emcee for the lunch-
eon held at Occasions at Stone River with catering by Chef Zach.
State Senator Bob Deuell also provided a brief update on the
state’s affairs, including where it stands regarding the budget. He
said that as the next session begins in January that they will need
to address the issues of a growing state and make sure that busi-
nesses continue to come to Texas. Remember to attend our June
luncheon to hear more from our Senator!
After all the awards and formalities took place, we
were happy to have as our Guest Speaker, Mike
Castellucci from Good Morning Texas. Mike shared
amusing and thoughtful stories of people he has
come in contact with throughout his career. We are really glad he
choose to spend the afternoon with us.

It is our privilege each year to help support the future of Royse
City by awarding (2) $1000 scholarships to graduating Royse City
High School Seniors. The criteria we use to make our selection
includes financial need, academic performance, extracurricular
activities and/or community service or employment, as well as
confirmed acceptance to a university.
Mayor Jerrell Baley present-
ed the first Ouida Baley
Memorial Scholarship to
this year’s recipient, Sayre
Trette, at the annual Awards
Presentation Ceremony at
Royse City High School on
May 20. The Baley family
requested that the student
be service oriented. We feel
this recipient definitely
meets that criteria. She has
been accepted to Texas Christian University as well as Centre
College and plans to pursue a degree in Pre-Chemistry.
Congratulations Sayre Trette!
We were also honored to pres-
ent our Chamber Scholarship
to Caleb Hessert. He has been
accepted to Oklahoma State
and Baylor Universities, and
Texas A&M Commerce and
plans to pursue a degree in
Music Education.
Congratulations to both of
these outstanding students!
The Ouida Baley Scholarship will be presented every year to a
graduating senior who personifies the essence of what Mrs. Baley
lived each day - service to others. You may make a donation to the
memorial fund at any time at American National Bank of Texas or
through our website at http://www.roysecitychamber.com/royse-

We are excited to announce that Verandah will be partnering with
us this year to bring you our 25th FunFest on October 18th!
This is going to truly be the BIGGEST, the most INTERACTIVE, the
MOST FUN Fest yet! Not only are we bringing in more activities for
the children, but we will be revisiting our history, raising money for
other non-profits, letting local vendors sell their wares, and are in
the planning stages of an area that will draw in our over 21 crowd!
Go to our website for more information on being a vendor.
Many people from the area participated in Carry The Load this year.
Carry The Load programs provide an interactive way for Americans to
remember, honor and celebrate Memorial Day in dedication to those
who sacrifice for us daily. Funds raised during Memorial May programs
allow Carry The Load to grow its vision and
execute its mission, as well as provide existing
nonprofit partners with valuable visibility,
resources, and meaningful connections. This is

Officer and Firefighter, Danny Mims, Carrying
the load for Tracey Larramore West.

of now, the Royse City Splash
Park at Hwy. 66 and Erby

6pm Zooniversity Professional wildlife educators will introduce you to our amazing animal ambassa-dors — all non-releasable wildlife or displaced exotic “pets,” who now have a per-manent home with Zooniversity. Zooniversity's library programs are designed for reading-age children, ages 5 years and older. Our animals are easily startled by the noises and movements of pre-school audiences -- and the safety of your patrons is our #1 priority. We require children younger than 5 years to sit with an adult. Toddlers and infants are to be seated near the rear of the audience and will be expected to quickly exit should they become noisy or active.
Performances will be held in the Mellody Room at City Hall.
