It is March, so this means spring break and Rodeo time! The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (HLSR) is a great member of the Chamber. Many people do not know that the HLSR is also a non-profit organization providing more than $400 million in scholarships since 1932. With more than 100 committees that work on all areas of the rodeo, there are more than 32,000 volunteers! The Chamber is proud to have our members be involved in this widely attended program! Go to www.rodeohouston.org for more information about the March 1-20 schedule.
Sincerely,
Linda Toyota President Asian Chamber of Commerce
