Fires Continue in the District
-- Randy’s Roundup --
A Weekly Newsletter from Congressman Randy Neugebauer
April 25, 2011
Fires Continue in the District
As wildfires continue to damage parts of Texas, Dana and I continue to pray for everyone involved and for the brave men and women offering assistance. Please do not hesitate to contact any one of my offices if we can be of assistance to you or someone you know.
Events in the 19th District This Week
This week, I will be traveling throughout the district attending various events. On Wednesday, April 27, I will attend the Lubbock Military Academy Forum at the Byron Martin Advanced Technology Center at 5:30pm, and the Abilene Military Academy Forum on Saturday, April 30 at Cisco College at 10am. These forums are a great opportunity for students interested in attending one of the Military Academies available to them. Come meet with representatives from the Military, Air Force and Naval Academies to learn more about each academy.
On Thursday, April 27th, I am proud to be receiving the Spirit of Enterprise Award from the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce. That same day, I will be attending a ceremony in Lubbock to congratulate new Americans as they become naturalized U.S. Citizens. I will be in Abilene that evening to offer my congratulations to Dyess Air Force Base on the 50th Anniversary celebration of the C-130’s presence at the base.
Also important to note, on Friday, April 29th, I will be hosting a budget and spending listening town hall meeting at the Abilene Civic Center Auditorium from 9:30-10:30am. It’s time for America to have an honest discussion about spending and the unsustainable deficits. I welcome your input as we work to chart a course for America that creates jobs and does not steal the future from our children and grandchildren. I look forward to seeing you at the Civic Center this Friday. For more information on this event, call my Abilene office at 888-763-1611 or visit my website.
