Patty Smith receives C.E. Palmer award

The C.E. Palmer Award is Texarkana's most prestigious honor for community service and is given annually at the Chamber banquet. This year's recipient is Patty Fulbright Smith, the Administrative Director of Opportunities, Inc. I've had the opportunity to sit on the Board there for the past three years, and I can tell you that there is no one more deserving of this award. Here are a couple of pictures from last night's banquet:
