The Nacogdoches County Chamber of Commerce Fourth Friday Luncheon is noon to 1 p.m., Aug. 23 in the Hotel Fredonia Banita Ballroom. Sen. Robert Nichols will present “The Big 3 – Education, Transportation, Water.” He will also summarize the 83rd Texas Legislative Session. The event is presented by TXU Energy.
“I am personally grateful for the hard work of our legislators in Austin, especially having had the chance to catch a small glimpse of it during Nacogdoches/SFA Days in Austin,” said Dr. Adam Peck, SFA Dean of Student and Fourth Friday Luncheon chairman. “I look forward to hearing their perspectives on what was accomplished during this legislative session.”
First elected to the Texas Senate in 2006, Nichols represents 19 counties including the greater part of East Texas. During his four sessions as a state senator, Nichols authored and passed legislation to protect landowners’ rights, increase educational opportunities in East Texas and reform transportation policies.
Luncheon reservations are required and a registration form is available in Forms at nacogdoches.org. A secure “register and pay online” option is available on the website in the Hot News section. Lunch is $16, and the deadline for reservations is Aug. 22.
