ICE STORM WARRIORS ATTEND APPRECIATION LUNCH

  

An Appreciation Lunch was held at the Washington County Expo Thursday for all of the city and county employees who served during the week of February 15-19, or Snowmageddon as it is now being called.  The Ice Storm Warriors included not only the first responders; Brenham Fire and  Police, Washington County Sheriffs, and EMS, but also numerous departments including dispatch, road and bridge, water and sewer, electric, IT, the county jail and many others.  Nearly every department, city and county, had numerous employees report to work that week, even though they were experiencing multiple problems at home.

The Appreciation Lunch was the brainchild of Washington County Treasurer Peggy Kramer.  She wanted to have some way to thank all of those who braved the cold weather and bad road conditions and reported to their jobs.  All of the meal was paid for with private funds, and the Washington County Ladies Lions Club helped serve it.

Sponsors of the event were: Bank Of Brenham, Brannon Industrial Group, Brenham National Bank, Brenham Wholesale, Citizen’s State Bank, and Mike Byrd and Mike Hopkins Distributing.
