Words from Hamilton Willis
Greetings!
The Tembec Job Fair, held last Friday, was a great success! Somewhere above two out of three employees came through and met where almost 40 employers were prepared to present offerings of both in-state and out. Fortune 500 and governmental offerings, beside other local industries, both private and publicly traded, were represented.
Tembec and the St. Francisville Chamber partnered with the State to help present this job fair. People were generally optimistic and some went away with interivew times; all went away with prospects! Special thanks to the Best Western staff for helping this along!
The Special Meeting of the Police Jury should soon prove fruitful! Good participation from all helped assure that as we plan for our future, the many stakeholders can operate with ownership in the process. It is critical that all participate, so that we get the results that represent our many view points. Though these may conflict in places, the old adage that "involvement in the planning, breeds commitment to the cause," will allow us to know that even if a decision didn't go "our way," we can still own the process. Thanks to the Growth Managment group and the Jury and all who participated!
For those who made both the Special Meeting and the previously scheduled Chamber After Hours, you got a double treat! Good music, beautiful setting, good company and superb food made this a "Treat of the Summer," event. With ingredients like these, you can imagine that the result was outstanding. Thank you Myrtles Plantation and Varnedoe's Carriage House Restaurant!
As we celebrate the Fourth of July with family and friends, remember to thank all that uphold our liberties. Beside the men and women in uniform serving in the military, our police and court officers maintain these liberties. Our schools and teachers help to educate our youth, so that they can inform themselves and keep our government in check. Our firemen and hospital workers keep us safe and aid us when we aren't. In our community our public servants maintain the order and services that are important to make the life and liberty that we have and hold more enjoyable! Remember to thank all of these, when you celebrate our freedom this week!
