A monthly publication of the Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce November 2014 281/ 488-7676 • 1201 NASA Parkway, Houston, TX 77058 • www.clearlakearea.com A message from the Chairman of the Board Dear Fellow Chamber Members, What a way to celebrate Jamieson Mackay’s year as Chairman of the Board. It was a wonderful and very memorable evening at the ball. I hope you all enjoyed yourselves as much as I did. The committee did a fabulous job of celebrating Jamieson’s Scottish heritage. I want to thank all the sponsors and committee members that made the evening so special. We truly couldn’t do it without you. We had a very special October luncheon. The program was provided by Senator Larry Taylor and State Representative Dr. Greg Bonnen. Senator Taylor heralded that Texas is a leader among states and the oil and gas economy is booming while our rainy day fund remains healthy. He reminded everyone that Proposition 1 is on the ballot for November 4th. Proposition 1 will divert a small percentage of gas severance taxes from the rainy day fund to provide additional revue for roads and transportation. Dr. Bonnen’s remarks showed concern for border security issues and the economic impact on our communities. One cause that he will champion this session is consideration of funding for University of Houston-Clear Lake’s downward expansion. We lost this battle last session but we must persevere. Remember to get out and vote! I had the very special honor of presenting State Representative John E. Davis with an award to honor is sixteen years serving our community. He has served District 129 with passion and unwavering support. Although his leadership in the Capitol will be missed, I am confident that he will always serve his community. Next month on December 13th is our Christmas boat parade. Come enjoy an evening on the Kemah Boardwalk and marvel at the decorated boats. The captains are sure to delight everyone with holiday cheer. Buy Into Bay Area by visiting local restaurants, shops, and cozy hotels before, during, and after the parade. There are still many ways to participate, just contact the chamber staff. Also in December is our chamber’s open house hosted by the board of director’s on December 18th. Mark your calendars for a fun filled December. You will be hearing more about the virtual rollout of the Buy Into Bay Area initiative this month. To kick this off, all day on November 6th, post a selfie on the social media of your choice with the tag #BuyIntoBayArea and show everyone how you think local. Look for other ways that you can participate. There will be so many options and ways to Buy Into Bay Area that I’m confident that we can all find a way to get involved.
