A Clarendon family received a new car just before Christmas thanks to Street Toyota in Amarillo. With donations from his employees, Joe Street provided cars to two area families who were associated with the Golden Spread Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Bryan Tolbert at the council office recommended one family in Amarillo and also the family of Rosa Olivas, who is a member of BSA Scout Troop 4433 in Clarendon. Rosa’s mother Stella was presented with the late model Toyota as well as a gift card for $500 on December 22. Shown here are Steven Mills, Linda Rowland, Evelyn Mills, Richard Lara of Street Toyota, Rosa Olivas, Stella Olivas, Haley Matlack of Street Toyota, Daniel Estlack, Nathan Estlack, and Scoutmaster Russell Estlack.Enterprise Photo / Scarlet Estlack
