Thank you to everyone who made the 2012 Trades, Industries & Professions (TIP) Dinner Season a huge success! We could not have had four outstanding dinners without the support of over 3,500 people who attended them, bringing in over $1.6 million for the 2012 JUF Annual Campaign from 1,700 gifts. We are also extremely proud of the 400 new gifts that were made from first-time givers to JUF.
In addition, the Trade Dinners brought in $976,500 in corporate sponsorship, an impressive number, which exceeds our totals from last year. Special thank you to Michael Zaransky, 2012 Trades, Industries & Professionals Chair, along with his leadership team for all we have achieved this year in TIP. See below for photos of our dedicated TIP leadership as well as our dynamic dinner speakers.
Due to the efforts of the Committee, Bastrop County will potentially receive 80 percent of $31.3M in funding from HUD to rebuild homes, county roads and parks in the community. The money is expected in July or August of 2012 with the General Land Office (A Thank You Letter to All Teachers) appointed by Texas Governor Rick Perry to oversee the distribution of the money. Plans call for the rebuilding of eight homes per $1M to help uninsured and underinsured residents who lost everything in the fires.
