GP donates supplies to local schools
Each year, continued cuts in education budgets have
forced teachers to spend hundreds of their own dollars
just to keep their rooms stocked with essential class-
room supplies, like tablets, tape, glue and markers.
This year, employees at Georgia-Pacific's Sweetwater
gypsum plant are wiping. They collected and donated
boxes of school supplies to J.P. Cowen, Southeast
Elementary, East Ridge Elementary and Highland ISD.
In addition to the boxes of supplies given by employees,
the company also donated cases of other needed prod-
ucts including its office paper, paper towels and tissue
products.

company-wide celebration to remember the legacy of Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. In past few years, the company

3,000 boxes of school supplies for elementary schools in
the communities where the company has facilities.

The first year West Texas
Centers hosted Hoops,
Dreams and Goals, no one
expected it to become a
yearly event.
But the wildly popular
basketball tournament
has become a tradition at
West Texas Centers with
no chance of it going away
anytime soon.
"I would say within
the first hour, we were
already talking about next
year," said Rodney Jones,
West Texas Centers Chief
Developmental Health
Officer.
Hoops, Dreams and
Goak is in its seventh year
and still gaining steam.
And its no coincidence it
coincides with the NCAA
March Madness, West
Texas Centers CEO Shelley
Smith said.
"We think ours is just as
much fun," she said.
The Seventh Annual
Hoops Dreams and Goals
2011 competition is
scheduled for March 25
at the Dorothy Garrett
Coliseum.

Brookshire's ice cream,
yogurt and sour cream
win top awards from ASDA
Brookshire Grocery Co.'s manufacturing team in
Tyler, Texas, has won the All Star Dairy Association's
quality assurance awards for Best Ice Cream Plant,
Best Yogurt Plant and Best Sour Cream Plant.
The dairy and ice cream plants also received the
"Exceeds Industry Standards" quality assurance award
from the ASDA.
"This is the tenth year out of 11 that our ice cream
plant has won top honors in the All Star Dairy
Association's awards program," said BGC President
and CEO Rick Rayford. "It's the fourth out of four for
BGC's yogurt operation and third out of four for our
sour cream plant. That just doesn't happen by acci-
dent; it's a day-in, day-out commitment to excellence
and dedication to turn out the best dairy products
money can buy. We're proud of our manufacturing
team's results."
The All Star Dairy Association reviewed some 250
dairy and ice cream plants in 45 states. The ASDA goes
through a rigorous, yearlong process of evaluating fin-
ished products to determine winners.
The evaluation consists of: a 14-page, detailed food
safety and quality audit performed by Randolph and
Associates; four sets of sensory evaluations of fin-
ished products that include initial, 12-day and 14-day
flavoring texture analysis; and laboratory testing that
