Straus, who represents District 121, which includes the communities of Alamo Heights, Terrell Hills, Windcrest and Northeast San Antonio, was the 2009 recipient of the Tom C. Frost Award. The dinner is a fundraiser for student scholarships and an opportunity to honor individuals for their contributions to higher education.
