 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.
