Awards for Seguin Citizens Who Make A Difference

When we first moved to Seguin, I was rather surprised that the city had two Chambers of Commerce: the Seguin Chamber of Commerce and the Seguin Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. However, after learning more about the city and how effective both Chambers are, it is not surprising at all.

The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce recently honored Seguin Citizens who have made a positive impact with their contributions to the city. It is well to be reminded now and again of the hard-working, willing, people who make our city a better place in which to live. These folks are unassuming (never promoting themselves) who work within the community in so many areas.

Businessman of the Year award went to Lolo Martinez; Businesswoman of the Year award went to Mary Louise Gonzales.

Humanitarian Award went to Barbara Behal; Patriot Award to J. P. Amador. The Community Service Award was given to Mary Louise Gonzales.

The Youth-Mentor Leadership Award was given to Mike Carrillo; Rosita Ornelas Award (for media) went to former Enterprise writer Michael Carey. The President's Award was given to Joe Polanco.

After the awards, the Casino was opened! You don't have to go to Las Vegas to have fun!
