Word From Hamilton Willis

Greetings!
The time has come for me to step down as President of the Chamber and put energy into the next thing. That next thing is the Police Jury race for the seat that Mr. Babers is vacating, at the end of this year. The importance of having good men and women that represent the values of this Parish and have a vision for the future that preserves our traditions, prompts me to enter this race.
The attention drawn from the duties of this office concerns me and I don't want to "under serve" the office. Nor do I want to give cause to those that might also run for the seat to accuse me of an unfair advantage. It has been a pleasure to serve with such an active Board! Their accomplishments speak for themselves! It has been my pleasure to serve them and this community. I leave matters in the able hands of our President Elect, Miles Higgins. He has served on the Executive Committee and has been and integral part of all matters, this year. His 'fingerprints' are all over the accomplishments of this year.
In addition to thanking Mr. Babers for many years of service to the Jury, we need to thank another servant who is stepping down sooner. Justice of the Peace, Kevin Dreher, is stepping down after a long run in that office. Both of these two public servants have given of their time and talents for this community. Thank you!
Don't forget that we have the LSU Mobile Classroom coming to St. Francisville. See the details below, but this is your chance to get informed, trained and challenged on some very interesting topics. This is a good chance to educate your employees on customer relations. Look over the list and see what might interest you!
Sincerely, Hamilton
