2015, THE YEAR TO GET INVOLVEDby Julia Bryant
This coming year is going to be crazy busy and full of
opportunity for our partners. The Board of Directors and
past event volunteers held a planning meeting on January
28th to discuss plans and form committees.
Growth in Royse City is coming, and your Chamber wants
to keep up with it. Our 3 major events for the year are just
another way we can contribute to our citizens and local
non-profits, therefore it is important we start the planning
process early.
Fresh ideas and enthusiasm are encouraged, so if you or
someone you know is interested in being a part of our team
we invite you to come on board with us. Just contact the
Chamber office and we will discuss your area of expertise!

Hard working, honest, dedicated, goal oriented, highly
motivated, and resourceful. Just a few words to describe
the group I met with at lunch on January 28th to form
committees for our 3 major events for 2015. There were
some terrific ideas shared and a willingness to work
together to make positive things happen in Royse City.
These chairs are looking for good teams to work with them.
Drop them a line if you are ready to take the initiative!

all advertising for the meeting; will have three minutes at

business; may put information at every table place-setting;
their company name will be posted on the Chamber website
and included in the Chamber newsletter.
The fee for this sponsorship opportunity is $100. If you

The Royse City Mob Squad struck again this past week at an
unsuspecting small business. Lyndie’s Unique Boutique
in downtown Royse City unexpectedly received some extra
shoppers on Thursday the 29th. Once a month the Chamber
organizes a group of citizens to surprise a local store and
spend at least $10. Everyone is welcome and you do not
need to be a Chamber member to be a part of the fun. Be
sure to check out our Facebook Page at Royse City Chamber
of Commerce for dates!

MEET YOUR TEACHERtanya hodges
Counselor at Miss May Vernon Elementary
Tanya Hodges, Tanya has been
teaching for 13 years. She began
teaching first grade and has also
served as a Reading and Math
Interventionist, and currently a
Counselor for Miss May Vernon
Elementary. Hodges is a Royse
City High School graduate and
earned her Bachelor and Master degrees from Tarleton
State University.
Miss May Vernon’s 2014 Campus Teacher of the Year
sums up her passion for teaching with this:
“We are the agent of change for our students. We have
been placed in their lives to make a difference and
teach them how to learn and what they need to be
successful. I didn’t become a teacher because it was an
easy job. I became a teacher because I love children. I
accept the challenge, whatever curve balls are thrown
whether through testing and accountability or life
circumstances, I am the one that is going to catch it,
tweak it, make it palatable, and adjust it to fit each and
every student so they can catch it too, because I am
an educator.”
This loyal beauty has waited so patiently and is still looking
for a forever home. She does have some requirements, but is
so deserving. For more information please call 214-934-9352
