What an incredible moment in time!

SACC-TX Celebrates 25 years in Houston at the Petroleum Club on November 11, 2008.

It was all we could hope for and more. With attendants exceeding 100, we celebrated in style.

We opened up our celebration with a moment of silence in respect for Veterans Day and all Veterans that have served the U.S. military.

Guests mingled and networked; discussing the history of SACC TX and current exchange of commerce.

Networking is so important in SACC-TX. Many discussions were held; new exchange of services were developed.

Dignitaries from neighboring countries; such as Lasse Seim, Consul General, Norway attended to congratulate SACC TX in Houston for such a landmark.

Excellent service in high style was delivered by the highly estemeed Petroleum Club of Houston.

Our very own Pride of Houston, Honorary Consul General of Sweden, Jan Dryselius was officially dubbed  by His Excellency, Ambassador Jonas Hafstrom with his new title.
