Save the date for the Bowie CC banquet Jan. 22
The Bowie Chamber of Commerce invites you to “save the date” for its annual award banquet on Jan. 22.
Doors will open at 6 p.m. that night in the Bowie Community Center for a social hour followed by the banquet room doors opening at 6:40 p.m. to seating. Tickets are $40 and now available to reserve.
Along with the awards there will be door prizes, plus a live and silent auction. New directors and outgoing directors and officers also will be recognized.
The chamber is calling all table decorators to put their own special touch to the banquet tables using this year’s theme, “Lights, camera, action.”
Decorators can feature their business using the theme, as well as any special event or promotion you may have planned for the year. The top decorator award awaits. Call the chamber at 872-1173 to sign-up for a table.
Award nominations are due Jan. 8.
Each year the chamber presents awards for Business of the Year, Community Support Award and the Frances Brite Citizen of the Year. All nominations are strictly confidential.
Email info@bowietxchamber.org or drop them off at the office located at 101 East Pecan Street. Nomination forms are on the chamber website at bowietxchamber.org
The nomination should include an explanation of why you feel this business should be considered for this award.
Attach any additional documentation to support the nomination. You may nominate anyone who qualifies, including your own business.
Nominations will be reviewed by the committee and the results announced during the banquet.
The top awards include the Frances Brite Award for volunteerism, Community Support Award and Business of the Year.
Do you have unwanted computer components such a desktop computers, laptop computers, LCD monitors, keyboards, mice, scanners, printers, battery back-up units, etc., that you don’t know how to dispose of properly?
If so, members of the Montague Emergency Communications Team can help as they host the annual Computer Recycling Day from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on April 19 at the Bowie City Hall parking lot at the corner of Mason and Pecan.
The team will recycle your unwanted computer components and insure they are disposed of properly, in an environmentally friendly manner. It is the perfect time to clean out that closet of nonworking or old electronics at your house.
They also will insure any computer hard drives are destroyed, thus preventing anyone from gaining access to personal information which may be left in the memory.
They also can accept sealed lead acid (SLA), nickel cadmium (NiCad), nickel metal hydride (NiMH) and lithium ion (Li-Ion) batteries for recycling. They cannot accept computer monitors or TV with cathod ray tubes.
This is a public service being offered at no cost to the community.
Any proceeds will benefit the Team and the Montague County SKYWARN program.

Bowie High School’s one-act play is just one step away from the state University Interscholastic League contest after it placed first in the area round on April 12.
The BHS play, “View From The Bridge,” will now move to regionals at Clyde Huff Pac in Clyde on April 23. The play is expected to perform at 2 p.m.
“We placed first in this round, and all the plays were phenomenal,” said Director April Word.
