GREATER TAYLOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
The Greater Taylor Chamber of Commerce’s annual awards banquet Feb. 17 stayed true to the theme “New Century, New Horizon” by recognizing several local luminaries.
The theme at the gala paid tribute to “a century of strength” and “a future of promise” for the community, organizers said.
