2023 Chamber Luncheon - 25th Annual First Responders Luncheon
25th Annual First Responders Luncheon
Speaker: Gary Weiland, Author, Motivational Speaker, Amputee, USA Para-Athlete, Ninja Warrior
After losing his leg in 2018, firefighter Gary Weiland did the impossible and went back to work. He didn?t stop there, and used this opportunity to be an inspiration. Since his surgery Gary has become a motivational speaker, author, American Ninja Warrior, entrepreneur, and a member of multiple USA Para teams.
With a message applicable to anyone from school-age children to world leaders, Gary inspires with his story of perseverance, faith, and determination. His experiences and perspective are perfect examples of how to turn tragedy into opportunity. You too will feel motivated to adapt and overcome.
Join us for the Monthly Luncheon for the Bastrop Chamber of Commerce, an excellent opportunity to meet and network with your fellow Chamber members!

Programming Guidelines
Programming is informational in nature and of general interest to Chamber Members and community members who attend.
- Luncheon Programming and Sponsors are determined in the fall of each year for the following calendar year.
- The Monthly Luncheon cannot be a fundraising opportunity for organizations.
- Requests to make an announcement during the Program will be considered at the discretion of the President. Any request must be submitted in writing and discussed with the President at least one week prior to the Luncheon.
- The Monthly Luncheon is a networking opportunity, so members may still hand out items personally to individuals at the luncheons for networking purposes or at the general information table.
- The ability to hand out literature/promotional items on the luncheon tables is reserved exclusively for the Bastrop Chamber of Commerce, the luncheon sponsor(s), and the luncheon speaker. No other handouts, information, gift items, or literature can be placed on the luncheon tables, and if any is found, the member will be asked to remove them. A general information table is provided for all others.
