TEXSAR: Texas Search and Rescue

From our President and CEO: 2024, our 20th anniversary, has been a great year for TEXSAR, and, for that, we give thanks.?There is so much to give thanks for: volunteers and members and their families, board members, partners and collaborators, and donors and supporters. We are humbled and honored to serve in the capacity that we do. ? I believe that one of the reasons why the TEXSAR family has such an attitude of gratitude and thanks is because we see how quickly conditions can change for individuals, families and communities. Our dedicated volunteers step in when others are experiencing those difficult times. The TEXSAR family is thankful for life and the opportunity it provides to serve. Thank you for making our service possible. ? From TEXSAR to all of you:?We wish you a blessed day of thanks.?Hug those you love and appreciate the opportunity to do so.

TEXSAR has grown rapidly over the last several years. With so many incredible members volunteering their time comes the need for exceptional leadership. We are thankful for the individuals who step up each year to lead the team. Our sincerest thanks to the 2024 Division Leaders and Assistant Division Leaders, we are grateful for your dedication and leadership!

You may have seen the note that we did not make it to the Land Rover finalist stage, and that we thanked everyone for their support. We jumped out too soon with the announcement, so we pulled the message down, but it is okay to say it officially now. :-) Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone who voted, encouraged others to post, and cheered us on. A lot of good came from the process. We appreciate you!
