For the third year, four business and professional women’s organizations in Amarillo are joining together to raise scholarship funds to assist women entering or returning to college. Higher education leads to more opportunity for financial stability, and there is much information available to support this fact. Timing is everything as the saying goes, and now is the right time for this effort.

The Amarillo Chamber of Commerce, Amarillo Chapter International Association of Administrative Professionals, Amarillo Women’s Network and Texas Business Women of Amarillo are choosing to impact our community in a positive way by co-hosting the WOW Scholarship Luncheon on Thursday, July 11, 2013, to raise funds for their scholarship programs. We are asking that you consider one of two sponsorship opportunities and support us as we work to develop Amarillo and enhance our workforce.

About the speaker:

Ask Mitzi Veloz if she thinks education is important. She will tell you her story to illustrate why she thinks education is not only important, but also necessary.

Mitzi and her husband, George, own Tacos Garcia and Burrito Stop in Amarillo. Around their businesses and rearing 2 daughters, Mitzi began her college career later in life, but with her family’s encouragement, she is nearing the end. It has been difficult, and it would have been easier to quit at times. George always tells her to keep going; he tells her she can do it. He is a large part of her story.

Mitzi became a wife and mother at a young age. Her journey from then to now has been about faith and family. She would not say this about herself, but her story is also about commitment, hard work, sacrifice, dedication, and love.

She is a blessing to Amarillo. Her servant heart gives and gives, and always with a smile on her face. Her husband, George takes great pleasure in saying that this is Mitzi 24/7. Smiling. Pleasant. Giving. Her daughters will tell you that her guidance and has been a large part in who they are now and in who they will become.

Join us for her inspiring story of “Faith, Family & Flamenco”.
