To fund our scholarships, the Chamber is licensed by the State of Texas Lottery Commission to host up to 6 Bingo events a year and attempts to host Bingo once a quarter. Bingo has rapidly become a community event and we are very grateful for the community’s support. Bingo is a family fun event with concessions, adult beverages and up to $2500.00 dollars in cash prizes. In an effort to provide as much money to the scholarship fund as possible, the 2500.00 in prize money is donated by generous businesses or individuals and the Chamber pays the taxes on the prizes. Our next Bingo event will be held June 14th pending a license.

The Chamber Board has selected five retired Educators as non-partial judges to rank each application: one is located in Waller, two from the Cypress area, one from Katy and one from Tomball. Each judge has a scoring criteria and after thoughtful consideration provides results back to the WACC Board. For the Class of 2019, the Chamber was able to provide 10 scholarships totaling 13500.00. In a tie for 1st place: $2500.00 each to Aubrey French (Individual Member Evan French) and Charles David Sons (Individual Member Deborah Menefree), 3rd place for $1500.00 to James Colby Boettcher (San Bernard Electric) and $1000.00 each to Payton Coursey (FNB of Bellville), Michael Evans (Marine Toys for Tots), Madyson Guidry (Waller Rustic Furniture), Jacob Plata (Waller Rustic Furniture), Makensi Rape (Prosperity Bank), Madison Roberson (Timothy Gaffrey, DVM), and Piper Slone (Individual Member Corey Slone).
