December 4, 2014 Meeting

Ortiz, RickDo you like to watch CSI?  You’re in for an interesting   discovery on Thursday!  Ric Ortiz, the county’s Chief Forensic Investigator  will be our program speaker.  He works to ensure that tombstones have names and to return remains to loved ones.

Ortiz has had his hand in about half of the 55,000+ deaths investigated by his office since being opened in 1970.  Last year  Ortiz and his team of eight investigators tallied 2,519 suspicious deaths.  People belong to somebody who cares, and Ric cares about finding them.

“The science often isn’t as exact as we see on television or the movies,” Ortiz said.  You won’t want to miss this exciting program.

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 ...
