Congratulations to, left to right, Woman of the Year Jewel Wolf, Student of the Year Victoria Pajestka, and Man of the Year Johnnie Kelley, all of Lodge 80, Holland. They were recognized on February 28 at the Holland Area Chamber of Commerce banquet, held at Lodge 80. Each year, the Chamber selects Woman, Man, and Student of the Year. These individuals are selected based on their community involvement, support, and dedication to making the Holland area a better place to live, work, and go to school. A meal of barbecue chicken, salad, peas and carrots, iced tea, and dessert was served. Lodge 80 Youth Club members helped serve tea during the buffet-style meal. Bell County District Attorney Henry Garza was the featured speaker for the evening.
SPJST lodges and youth clubs and local community groups are encouraged to join hands on May 2. Visit www.spjst.org for more details.
