Texas State Optical
Dr. Jack Rountree's Texas State Optical Fair Oaks wants to thank you for allowing us to give you and yours the gift of sight this year. We understand how medical vision exams play a key role in our children's health and learning comprehension. This is why Dr. Rountree participates in the InfantSEE program which provides a one-time, no cost eye and vision assessment for babies 6 to 12 months old. TSO also collects donated used eyewear for the Lions Club, to be distributed to those in need in the US, and third world countries. For more information please call 210-698-6393.

Texas Heritage Bank
Toy drives for the needy, goodies for soldiers serving far away and partnering with local organizations to spread the Christmas Spirit are just a few of Texas Heritage Bank's favorite things. Each Thanksgiving and Christmas season Texas Heritage Bank gladly accepts donations for the Hill Country Daily Bread Ministry which collects, wraps and delivers Christmas presents to families in need. Additionally, last year the employees of Texas Heritage Bank collected items ranging from warm gloves and socks to granola bars to ship to two very personal soldiers serving our country overseas.
