♦ Three of our members are being honored at the Small Business of the Year Event next Wednesday, January 15 at 5:00 pm at the Holiday Inn City Centre. Huston Electric, Sylvan Learning Center and Tucker Insurance are contenders for the award and it would be great to have a big group of us to cheer them on. Any interested Rotarians are also invited to join Pub Club regulars for a beverage and conversation at Toscana’s (Holiday Inn’s restaurant) following announcement of the award.
