Momentum - Business to Business Online Magazine September 2017 | Page 11

Honoring Our Local Heroes ago, I sat down in a meeting with our President & A few months CEO, Steve Paterson, to start planning cover stories for our MOMENTUM magazine for the remainder of 2018. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine how ironic the timing could have been when we picked the month of September to honor our local heroes. This issue will be released a little under two weeks from when Harvey devastated our community; a community that has always been close to one another, a community that has always believed in serving and placing others needs before there own. Without question, many of our community leaders and volunteers stepped up to the plate when it really counted, many whose own homes had been destroyed by Harvey’s vicious flooding. But that didn’t matter to them. The most important thing was getting out there and helping others who they considered worse off than themselves. Many of these people are a part of our Chamber family, and some are even close friends of mine, I’m proud to say. The next few pages are just a small glimpse into the last two weeks of our community & first responders working together, loving one another and, doing what they do best, being local heroes!
