New Member Induction For our program today we made our club's history by inducting our newest member with the help of zoom! President Rick Tarbell introduced our candidate, Rene Escobedo. Rene attended UTSA and is a CPA then went on to law school and is now a practicing attorney. He is on the board of directors of the United Way. He has an impressive resume which includes among other things working with many non profits including serving on the Director of the San Antonio Symphony, served on the board Catholic Charities and on the board of Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce. His classification will be attorney at law. President Rick Tarbell is his sponsor. Ken Ruiz and Allyson Hamlin were the induction team using the script that was used for Ken Ruiz' induction in 1988 into our club. We will present Rene's badge, pin and flag at when we meet again at the Outback Steakhouse. Next Week Next week we will induct Maverick Pascal as our new member. Our speaker next week will be Kenny Wilson, CEO of Haven for Hope. This will be a zoom meeting. Umbrella Time Secretary Mary Denton owns the umbrella this month. She shared some fascinating data about the San Antonio housing market. Mary's winning bid goes towards her Paul Harris fellowship. Fines and Confessions - Missing Pins and Badges Apparently we have all been little angels this week or at least we didn't admit to anything..... Humor by Fred Timmons Local school board is decided whether to require school age kids to wear masks in school. Just think about kids in elementary school wearing masks and the teacher saying things like "Please don't snap Billy's mask in his face," "You should not be using your mask as a slingshot, please put it back on your face." "Please don't chew on your mask." "I know the inside of your mask is wet - you should not lick the inside of it." Know Your Grapes by President Elect John Legris President Elect John Legris is focusing on red wines. Today the Shiraz is featured, originally from the Rhone region of France. These grapes were brought to South Africa and Australia in the 1830s. In the United States the top producing grapes for Shiraz are grown in Washington state. Currently in the Legris household they are enjoying Riesling wines from the Mosel region of Germany. They are unpronounceable and difficult to spell except by President Elect John...and perhaps Bruce Richter... Thank you President Elect John for elevating our knowledge of the history of wines! No Show Low Drawing Today We anxiously await the Show Low drawing as soon as our club is able to meet at the Outback Steakhouse! |
