COVID-19 continues to wreck havoc not only with lives but with organizations and their activities.
Members of the Bowie Chamber of Commerce received a letter from Board President Kory Hooks this week asking them how they would like the board of directors to move forward in the new year.
In the letter Hooks states the fourth quarter of the year is an important time for the chamber as it nominates new members for the board and elects new officers.
“Given the crazy circumstances of 2020 the current chamber board is requesting to serve another term. This request comes as the opportunity to serve and grow the board was immediately halted along with all other business. The current board would like to accomplish what it originally set out to do. This request must be voted on by our entire membership. We are asking you to cast your ballot and turn it in to us,” states the chamber president.
Members are asked to check either vote to extend the current board or vote to move forward with nominating new officers.

Judges have been named for the two cases involving 97th District Attorney Casey Hall, including the indictment for theft and a petition for removal as DA.
On July 11, Judge David L. Evans, presiding judge for the Eighth Administration Region of Texas, assigned E. Lee Gabriel to handle the indictment case against Hall. The judge then named Bruce McFarling for the removal petition case.
The two-term DA Hall was indicted by the Montague County Grand Jury July 15 on a charge of theft of property $2,500 to $30,000, a state jail felony. The allegations stem from reported misappropriation of state grant funds.
