Celebrating San Angelo
Mid-Year Report
T
he end of June marked the half-way point in the Chamber year. I
almost made it through the June 9 Chamber luncheon before
Chad and I welcomed Ella Houston Elkins early on June 10, weighing
in at 6 lbs 13.5 ounces. We are all doing well, and appreciate all of
your good wishes.
At the June 9 monthly luncheon, Angelo State University
Stacie Elkins
President Dr. Joe Rallo highlighted ASU’s newest programs, $100 Chairman of the Board
million in construction coming over the next five years, and the outstanding efforts underway to grow the University’s enrollment. Sponsors Concho Educators Federal Credit Union and Performant enabled that event, and Ridgway
Florist made possible a wonderful networking session at Business After Hours on June 23.
We appreciate our member support and participation in these mainstays.
Leadership San Angelo graduated its 26th class last month, and Edward Carrasco
received the Bob Diebitsch Leadership Alumni Award. Peggy Arnold was recognized for her
many years of outstanding service to the program. To date, 707 individuals have benefitted
from the program.
The exciting announcement June 19 that San Angelo mainstay Hirschfeld Industries
and newcomer Martifer Energy Systems have announced a joint venture to manufacture components for wind turbines to serve North American markets is great news for our area. And
finally, the third annual Showdown in San Angelo drag boat races is now in the record books,
and we’d like to thank all of our sponsors, volunteers, and participants for making the event
bigger and better.
Please make note of some of the activities that you might want to place on your calendar:
 Please register soon for the 6th annual West Texas Legislative Conference on August 13.
The topic will be agriculture. Business and industry leaders and elected officials from
throughout West Texas will join us to examine the current and future status of agriculture
in our region and the U.S., as well as its economic impact. Sponsors are still being solicited if you’d like to help underwrite this event.

Business After Hours will be held on Thursday, July 30th this month, and members will
be among the first to see the new Midnight Rodeo club at 2581 Sunset Drive.
Business advising appointments and brainstorm marketing sessions with trained business
counselors from ASU’s Small Business Development Center will take place at the
Chamber office July 13 and July 27. Schedule your appointment by calling 655-4136, or
call Phil for more information.
Applications for the 27th class of Leadership San Angelo will be available later this
month. Contact Sandra Pomroy in the office to inquire about the 2009-2010 program.
Attend and spread the word on the “last Friday” of the month tour of the military firefighting equipment, complete with windshield tour of Goodfellow AFB, on July 24. Call
the Chamber office at 655-4136 to register.
Thank you for your support of the Chamber
and our community.
We won’t have a Membership
Luncheon in July. Enjoy your
summer vacation!

Action Report
From the Economic
Development Division
Martifer-Hirschfeld Energy Systems, LLC
The June 19 announcement of the joint venture between
Portugal-based Martifer Energy Group and long-standing San
Angelo employer Hirschfeld Industries to manufacture components for wind turbines to serve North American markets was
great news for San Angelo. This win/win partnership strengthens
both industries and solidifies San Angelo’s growing reputation in
the wind power industry.
The press release distributed June 19 said it perfectly:
“This joint venture brings together the expertise of Martifer
Group in the manufacturing of wind power components, and the
local footprint and extensive experience in infrastructure fabrication of Hirschfeld.”
With site preparation recently completed, construction
has begun on the $40 million plant site on Old Ballinger Highway. The first stage of construction should be complete in one
year, with an expectation of employing 225 locally and producing 400 towers annually by the year 2013.
Ground Breaking Partnership – Breaking ground for the start of
construction, and celebrating the joint venture between Hirschfeld
Industries and Martifer Energy Group, are, from left, Victor Vescovo,
Director, Hirschfeld Industries; Richard Phillips, President, Hirschfeld Industries; Dennis Hirschfeld, CEO, Hirschfeld Industries; Jorge
Martins, Co-Founder and Vice CEO, The Martifer Group; and Pedro
Denis, Executive Director, Martifer Energy Systems.
Vice President, Marketing & Recruitment
By the first week of July, the Chamber position overseeing marketing and recruitment for the community will be
posted, and job descriptions and application procedures will be available to anyone interested. For additional information, please contact Phil Neighbors, 655-4136, or [email protected].

Tribute to Elmer Kelton
San Angelo’s own Elmer Kelton has published 47
novels and 13 non-fiction books in the Western
genre. Three of his books have won the Western
Heritage Award from the National Cowboy Hall of
Fame, and the Western Writers of America have
awarded him an unprecedented total of seven spur
awards. In recognition of Elmer Kelton’s outstanding
contributions to literature, a
life size statue of Elmer will
be placed inside the new Tom
Green County Library when it
is completed in 2010. Local
artist Raul Ruiz was chosen
from among 10 other bronze
artists and commissioned to do
the piece. The goal for this
project is $85,000, and your
help is needed. Donations are
being accepted through the
San Angelo Area Foundation, and if a donor
contributes $3,000 they can
receive a 9” bronze bust of
Elmer, also done by Ruiz. This
is a numbered, limited edition
piece. Donations of $7,500
will receive a 12” bronze version of the actual statue that
will be placed in the new library.
Contact the San Angelo Area
Foundation to participate!

Action Report
I just wanted to let you know that
the San Angelo Chamber’s website is
one of the best community websites
I’ve ever seen! I really appreciated
how easy it was to navigate and find
out all that San Angelo has to offer.
I’m currently at Goodfellow AFB and
initially dreaded coming here because I thought I
wouldn’t have anything to do. The website proved
me wrong and gave me a list of things to fill my
weekends that I never would have known were
there by just driving around.
Liz Feight
The Chamber offices will be
closed on Friday, July 3rd in observance of Independence Day.
We will re-open on Monday,

The Visitor Center will be open
