Central Texas Electric Cooperative (CTEC) will be recognizing Veterans Day and beginning its annual toy collection.
“CTEC is proud to employ veterans,” read a cooperative announcement. “This Veterans Day, our offices will be handing out free cookies as a small way to say thank you.”
The organization also is recognizing an employee, Bryan Smith, who served in the U.S. Army for seven years.
Christmas Toys for Brown Santa
The cooperative is collecting toys again this holiday season.
A free koozie will be given to individuals who bring in donation items for the joint effort between CTEC and the Llano County Sheriff's Department annual Brown Santa Program.
The items donated need to be new and unwrapped toys and it is requested that no stuffed animals be donated.
Wrapping materials, such as paper, tape and bows also are needed.
