Retired Paris Police chief Bob Hundley has taken the reins of The 100 Club of Lamar County and finds he is still dealing with the effects of the pandemic on the nonprofit organization.

The 100 Club of Lamar County is a volunteer membership organization. It’s mission is to provide support in the amount of $10,000 immediately to the family of any first responder in Lamar County, paid or volunteer, “killed in the line of duty.” The 100 Club began in 1953 in Houston, and it provides financial support to the dependents of law enforcement officers and firefighters who are killed or seriously injured in the line of duty in 32 counties surrounding Houston.
