2009 PSA Luncheon Honored Congressman Pete Sessions
Location: Dallas, TX
Phoenix House was delighted to present Congressman Pete Sessions with this year’s Public Service Award on Monday, June 1st, honoring his outstanding support and contribution to our community over the years. The event took place at the Hilton Anatole Hotel, Stemmons Ballroom in Dallas, Texas. Congressman Sessions and our guests were treated to a wonderful lunch and the entertaining dialogue of Event Co-chair Paul Bass, Jr., who was joined by his son and grandson, Paul Bass III, and Paul Bass IV. In addition to the Congressman’s extensive interest in the addiction prevention field, he has shown great sponsorship and advocacy for causes including the Boy Scouts of America and diabetes research and prevention, among many others. In special recognition of Congressman Sessions’ efforts to preserve and enhance the natural beauty of White Rock Lake, we were pleased to dedicate a park bench along the lakeside in his honor.
