The Texas House Photographers took pictures of our group in front of the Governor's Public Conference Room led by District Captain-West Roy L. Pell and Distrist State Liasion Dr Chuck Maricle from Division 6, who used his connections in state government to make this happened. The Governos was to busy to join us.
We had lunch in the Capitol Cafeteria and proceeded to the City of Austin to get a proclamation from the Mayor that was arranged by 75 FSO-PA Cody Caughlin. The Mayor was out of town and was represented by Councilman Mike Martinez from the Austin City Council who read the proclamation and took pictures with group.
It was a very successful day for NSBW and a great team effort from a great group of Auxiliarists and Gold side from D8CR.
