Reserve Your Seat Today


Recently, Cary A. Israel thought he was attending a college fundraising meeting at the home of Howard and Florence Shapiro. In a staff meeting the week prior, his staff reported that he was very confused about the timing of this meeting (being that it was at 4:30 on Valentines Day), but nonetheless, in his usually style of complying (especially when it comes to Collin College), he made it a point to be there. “He was speechless”, reported Beth Webb, who made the announcement as he stood there amongst a room full of prior Citizen of the Year winners. Trudy, his wife, quickly handed him a bottle of wine and balloons as he regained his composure. Tino Trujillo of Tino’s Mexican Restaurant (who is also a former COY winner), provided the refreshments.

Our honored guest speaker for this year will be Bill Lively, President and CEO of the North Texas 2011 Super Bowl XLV Host Committee. His message will give attendees insight into what the Super Bowl will bring to our community and how we as a community will be impacted. Come join the best TEAMS in Plano as they honor this year’s Most Valuable Player, Cary A. Israel. This “Super Citizen” event will take place at the Plano Marriott @ Legacy Town Center, Thursday, March 25th, 2010 from 7 – 10 PM. Invitations will be mailed next week, as well as available HERE, or by calling the Chamber office at 972-424-7547.

The Signature Sponsor for this year’s event is Medical Center of Plano, along with VIP Reception Sponsor, Shops of Willow Bend and Event Sponsor, TXU Energy.

What is a Chamber of Commerce? A Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary organization that unites businesses and professional people in an effort to expand the economy of an area. It must be understood that a Chamber of Commerce is PEOPLE. There is a place in the Chamber for members to get involved and accomplish collectively what no one of them could do alone, thereby creating a pool of resources from which to draw ideas, energies and finance. Today, Chambers of Commerce have become community organizations which recognize all the factors that affect their community and adjust their programs accordingly.

What a Chamber is NOT... A Chamber of Commerce is not a department of the city, county or state governments; a social, service or charitable institution; a private advertising, publicity or public relations agency.
