(Candy McMichen)Having brought a community together in support of  its high school football team, Coach Jeff Dixon was named Alvaradoan of the Year by the Chamber of Commerce Thursday evening.

                                                          The Chamber’s annual banquet was held in Alvarado ISD’s Administration Building.  Johnson County Pipe was named as Business of the Year and Johnson County Pioneers and Old Settlers Association received special recognition for its community service and hours of volunteerism.  Randy Mac entertained with a comical rendition of a Freddy Fender song and proceeded to explain how to become your own ‘granpa” in another.  Students from the AHS Family Career and Community Leaders Association served drinks and refills for the close to 60 in attendance. Italian food catered by Benny’s of Alvarado included lasagna, tortellini and baked ziti.

                                                          The Chamber’s purpose is to improve Alvarado’s overall business climate and quality of life through sponsorships of programs that promote, facilitate and stimulate economic growth, civic participation and business advocacy.  Alvarado’s Chamber is led by its board of directors which is president Jason Reynolds, vice president Steve Garcia, treasurer Clint Davis, secretary Leanna Cowan and board members Jerry Pritchard, Tammie Lile, John Percifield and Rocky Biggs. The chamber meets at noon every first Thursday of the month at  the Alvarado Public Library.
