Since 1953, the 100 Club has been the first responders for our first responders. Their goal is to be there at the point of need within 24-48 hours of an incident to support the families of law enforcement personnel, firefighters and EMS, including dispatchers who become the first contact when disaster strikes.
The Hill Country 100 Club is comprised of concerned citizens along with local businesses who understand the daily sacrifices made by these men and women and are committed to maintaining the safety of our communities.
On March 5, from 6-9 p.m., the Hill Country 100 Club will host their annual banquet at the Burnet YMCA to honor the first responders in Burnet, Blanco, Llano and Lampasas counties. Sixty-seven supported agencies will be represented, including sheriff departments, police, EMS, fire departments and dispatchers, whom Texas has now recognized as first responders. In addition, the agencies submit candidates for the employee of the year award and the meritorious award, which identifies someone who has gone above and beyond the call of duty, perhaps even at the risk of their own life.
