December 1, 2016 Meeting

columns_iii

The Corpus Christi Caller-Times each week features a column on South Texas history by Murphy Givens. These articles on people, places and events of years gone by are eagerly awaited each Wednesday. Columns III is the third compilation of such articles, with columns from 2014 and 2015 included in this volume. They tell of adventurers, outlaws, settlers, cowboys, ranchers and pioneers who came to the Coastal Bend of Texas, struggling against nature and their fellow man to make their homes and livelihoods. This collection of 102 newspaper columns includes 164 photographs and maps, source notes and a full index.

Fellow Rotarian Jim Moloney will join Murphy Givens during our luncheon program presentation.  They will also be available to sign copies of Columns III.

Bring a friend to Thursday’s meeting and perhaps purchase a gift for someone on your list!

Thursday's meeting reminded us of the extraordinary knowledge and experience within the Rotary Club of Corpus Christi @followers.Moderated by Jonathan Williams, our interactive program brought together Paul Broderson, Justin Butts, Jim Mailhes, and Kathleen Clark for a practical conversation about estate planning, financial security, long-term care, family communication, funeral preplanning, and wellness.Members continued the conversation with table leaders Edgar Munoz, Jarrod Bolliger, Ernest de la Garza, Jessica Prukop, John Holloway, Suzel Mendieta, and Kathleen Clark—asking questions, sharing experiences, and considering steps they can take now to protect themselves and their families.Preparation is an act of care. Conversations like these can prevent unnecessary complications and provide greater peace of mind before a crisis occurs.Thank you to Jonathan, our panelists, table leaders, and everyone who participated. We also thank Bea Hanson for the invocation, Mary McQueen for leading the song and pledges, Kyoko Amano for the Four-Way Test and introductions, and Steve Black for his Coastal Bend HUB update.This is the quiet power of Rotary: members sharing their knowledge and compassion to help one another and strengthen our community.#RotaryClubOfCorpusChristi #ServiceAboveSelf #PeopleOfAction ...
