Volunteers who participated in the Chapter’s “Homemade Cookies for Troops” project were recognized for their selfless efforts by Chapter President Guadalupe Villarreal.
“Thank you all for attending,” said El Paso Local Chapter President Guadalupe Villarreal.
“You could have been at home watching TV, however, you decided to be here today and this shows how professional and committed you are!”
The President recognized the El Paso Chapter volunteers who participated in the “Homemade Cookies for Troops” project. She presented these women with a thank you card and a Support the Troops pin.
“Thank you all for your help in making this project such a success,” said President Villarreal.

“Mr. Tidwell also talked about how to create, claim and find online listings for businesses and included helpful information about the QR Codes, how to use and create them,” said Chapter President.
