The 2026 Volunteer Appreciation Dinner was a meaningful evening dedicated to honoring the volunteers who are such an important part of our organization and community. The event brought together fellowship, camaraderie, and celebration as we recognized the individuals who generously give their time, dedication, and compassion to serve others. The evening also included the presentation of awards and certificates of appreciation recognizing our volunteers’ dedication and service to the community. Volunteers truly are a special breed, and it was a wonderful evening celebrating their commitment.
We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to our guest speakers and community leaders who joined us for the evening: Marshal McIntosh, City Manager of Brownwood; Stephen Haynes, Mayor of Brownwood; Chief Hicks, Chief of Fire and Emergency Management for the City of Brownwood; Cliff Karnes, Brown County Emergency Manager; and Gwen Stone, Texas Division of Emergency Management Liaison. Their support, encouragement, and recognition of our volunteers made the evening even more meaningful.
