Brookshire EDC's Business Mixer - July 25, 2008

On Friday, July 25, 2008, the Brookshire Economic Development Corp. held their annual Business Mixer.  Area businesses and churches were invited.  Everyone had a chance to socialize, network, and become acquainted with each other.  Some were introduced to new faces and new partnerships were made.  Tables were available for those who wanted to display their business information.  We are happy to say all tables were full and we will have more available for next year's function.

We would like to thank Don Corley of  Colony Cellars www.colonycellars.com for being on hand. Guests were invited to taste the wines from his vineyard.

A huge thank you to Marla Van Overbeke and Joan Maresh of Eve's Garden www.evesgardentexas.com for supplying the table linens.

We would also like to thank our bartender, John Karber, johnk1976@yahoo.com, for coming and setting up his bar so that guests could enjoy an afternoon cocktail.
 

Marilyn Vaughn, President of Brookshire Economic Development Corp, and Mayor Joseph Vaughn welcomed guests.  They also recognized the E.D.C. board members and presented each one with a certificate of appreciation.

After business cards were collected, a drawing was held.  Each month a different business will be featured on our web page.  The winners were:

The Oaks at Brookshire, Activity Department
Emily W. Hillsman, Certified Public Accountant
First United Methodist Church of Brookshire
Eve's Garden
