Congressman Mike Conaway talks with Dave Wells (left) and Kevin Brown (middle)
On August 4, 2009, the West Texas Lighthouse was honored to have Congressman Michael Conaway visit our facility. Congressman Conaway is a supporter of the blind and visually impaired and took time out of his extremely busy schedule to tour our operation. He and his staff were impressed with the diversity of our product lines and the way our blind employees are able to make products for both the Federal and State Governments.
