Prayer, Pledge and Visitors
The meeting began with the ringing of the bell by President Fred Timmons. Bruce Richter led us in a word of prayer and the pledge. President Fred introduced our speaker and guest: Our speaker today was Brenda Jackson who is a member of the board of directors of the San Antonio Division of the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. Fun fact: her professional title is Brenda Jackson, PhD, RN, Professor Emeritus, School of Nursing at UT Health San Antonio. Whew! She prefers to go by Brenda with her Rotary friends. We were happy to see our frequent guest and friend Dave Jower who is a member of the Northwest Rotary Club.
President Fred took us through our calendar of events

Fred shared with us his that he and Ken Donoughue attended the District 5840 Conference that was held here in San Antonio May 3rd & 4th. He said that both of them attended both days of the conference. He said that the Saturday event was "the best one!" Over $76,000 was raised for the Rotary Foundation Annual Fund through the cruise raffle. The winning ticket was drawn Saturday during the conference and Robert Hamilton, a member of the Rotary Club of San Antonio won the lucky ticket. Robert was the winner of TWO cruises since was the buyer and seller! The Rotary Exchange Students and Interact Club participated in the Saturday program. These students are our future leaders and they are very involved in volunteer activities, learning leadership skills while excelling in scholastic studies. Here are a few photos that Ken Donoughue was able to capture!
