We are THRILLED to announce that we officially raised over $8,000 for Sammy's House at the Strikes for Tikes event March 4. This is $1,500 more than we were able to raise last year - a record success at the time - and in a squishy economy, too!
Our thanks to the Community Outreach team who truly rolled a 300 getting everything together, and to all our sponsors and bowlers. They truly "spared" nothing in support of Sammy's House.
Here are the Company Teams that competed!

Spring 2010 Scholarships are here! One of the benefits to our hard-working members of the Texas Hill Country Chapter awards is the opportunity to apply for scholarships twice a year. Scholarship applications can be submitted in the Spring and in the Fall.
These scholarships offer reimbursement of funds towards their choice of one of the following:
• Meet Different – 2010
• MPI Membership Renewal Dues

This spring, we encourage you to apply for a scholarship, based on contribution to Chapter committees, professional designations, active participation in THCC meetings and an essay explaining their reasons for applying for the scholarship.
