The San Antonio Livestock Show and Rodeo is a fantastic event that annually hosts more than 1.3 million people. What a fair number of people do not realize is that the money raised from this seventeen day event goes to providing scholarships to the youth of Texas. Last year's show raised $8,500,000 in scholarships bringing the total for the last several years to over $105 million. Steve and Susan Alwais serve as the chairman and vice-chairman of the Public Affairs Committee.
According to them, equally as important to the good that is done for the youth of Texas, are the lives that are touched both on the committee, with other volunteers, and the general public. Committee members working with them put in 36 hours during the 17 days of the show. Both Steve and Susan will tell you that the numbers of hours is very easy because of the good that is being done in so many ways in God's kingdom. If anyone is interested in becoming a volunteer, please contact either Steve or Susan Alwais and they will be happy to discuss it with you.
