Last week, we found out what we all knew, we have a great college. Dr. Valek has led the Brazosport College team for almost 20 years and she does a great job. It was indeed a treat to hear an update directly from her.
This week, Rod has secured a hypnotist. And not just any hypnotist, this is a doctor of behavioral psychology and an author. I am sure you will want to be here for this one.
We have a lot of events coming up. Thursday night is Junior Achievements banquet. If you do not have anything planned for that evening, please try to support them. They are honoring several area business men.
Saturday there is training in Houston for our foundation. If you would like to go, please get with me to determine how we can ride together.
Saturday evening we are going to a Skeeters game. They are currently tied in first place at this writing. I need to tell the box office how many tickets I need Tuesday. They are holding several for us. So please check with your family’s social director and let’s have a great outing. The game starts at 6:05. We will leave around 4:00 from Asiel’s on an AIR CONDITIONED bus that is provided at no charge. Tickets are $50 per and food and drink are included.
