RECOGNIZING THE 2019 TABLE ROCK LAKE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AWARD WINNERS
______
HON. BILLY LONG
of missouri
in the house of representatives
Friday, November 8, 2019
Mr. LONG. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend Terry Plumb, Ken
Bowling, Tanco II Lumber Company, and the Reeds Spring unit of Boys and
Girls Club of the Ozarks for their dedication and selfless
contributions to the Table Rock Lake community. On November 15, 2019,
Lake Splash will recognize these four individuals and organizations by
presenting them with awards for their service, and I join Lake Splash
in applauding these recipients.
Mr. Terry Plumb is a volunteer battalion chief with the Southern
Stone County Fire Protection District and is this year's recipient of
the Guardian Award for the bravery he exhibited in the line of duty.
The Guardian Award is presented to a first responder in recognition of
their fearless or selfless service to the community. Mr. Plumb didn't
hesitate to risk his own life to assist a motorist whose car had caught
fire; his actions and rapid response prevented casualties or injuries
during the incident. I applaud him for his selfless actions and
receiving this well-deserved recognition.
Tanco II Lumber Company is this year's Business of the Year for
exemplary and high-quality customer service while maintaining a strong
commitment to the community. This year, Tanco II recently completed a
new local facility, expanded their product offerings, and created
several new jobs, making them an attractive candidate for this award.
They have demonstrated a remarkable commitment to investing in their
local community, and I congratulate them on receiving this award.
Mr. Ken Bowling, owner of Ken Bowling Construction, will receive this
year's Trailblazer Award for his contributions to the community during
his tenure as a Stone County Commissioner, and for his work as a member
of the Kimberling City Board of Alderman and former Chairman of the
Table Rock Lake Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Bowling has always tirelessly
served his community so it is only fitting that he receives an award
that recognizes leaders that forge a path for others in their
community.
The final award is presented to the Reeds Spring unit of the Boys and
Girls Club of the Ozarks for providing vital after-school care and
education programs for children within this community. The Community
Service Award is presented to an individual or organization who,
through their service or commitment, has improved the quality of life,
economy, educational opportunities, beauty, serenity, or safety in
their community. The Boys and Girls Club of America offers invaluable
resources to families across the nation, and I applaud this local
branch's work in the Table Rock Lake area.
All of the recipients of the 2019 Lake Splash Awards have made a
significant impact on their community and deserve this recognition. I
am honored to recognize their achievements, and I thank each recipient
for their contributions to Missouri's 7th District.
