March 10, 2016 Meeting

columns2Jim Moloney will be speaking to our club about Murphy Givens’ new book Columns II on Thursday. You will also have the opportunity to purchase a signed copy of the book.

This volume, Columns II, is compiled from columns published in 2012 and 2013. They are about the pioneers and settlers who tamed the wild land and made South Texas their home. They were adventurers, outlaws, cowboys, ranchers and entrepreneurs, from all over the United States, Europe and Mexico. They lived in dangerous times and left a lasting legacy. This second book of Givens’ collected newspaper columns includes 193 photographs and maps, source notes and a full index.

While our Thursday meeting may not find its way into the history books, it serves as a reminder of what truly merits being recorded in history. Days like D-Day are worthy of remembrance and, more importantly, learning from. We are immensely grateful to our speaker, Dwayne Lee, for his inspiring presentation, “All Gave Some... Some Gave All.” His overview of the American Cemetery in Normandy, France, was not only informative but deeply moving. It was a presentation of great significance, reminding us of the sacrifices that shaped our world. A special thank you to our District Governor Zehra Surani for recognizing our club members who have generously shared their time and talents with Rotary. We also joyfully celebrate those cherished individuals who have been part of the Rotary family for over a decade, making a lasting impact with their enduring commitment. ... See MoreSee Less

Additionally, she shared insights on the current projects underway in the county. Connie's presentation was both enlightening and engaging, leaving us with a clearer understanding of the financial landscape and how it supports the community's development.
