Georgetown Public Library
Aug 20, 2019 12:00 PM
MEETING LOCATION: Cowan Creek (Georgetown/Florence) at noon Eric Lashley, director of the Georgetown Public Library, was named Librarian of the Year by the Texas Library Association in April. “This librarian has a history of innovation and indeed a reputation as a little bit of a maverick. I know (the Georgetown library) to be laser-focused on customer service,” said Gretchen Pruett, New Braunfels Public Library director, who presented the award to Lashley. She added that Lashley has worked to create a library that generates change within the Georgetown community. Lashley took over as director in 2000 and has since elevated the library to national recognition. In May 2018, the library was one of 10 recipients of the 2018 National Medal for Museum and Library Service, awarded by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services. |

MEETING LOCATION: Cowan Creek (Georgetown/Florence) at noon After earning her BA in Interdisciplinary Studies in May 2018, Naomi decided to seek an internship to get practical work experience after learning about Austin Angels on social media. She worked as a case management intern during the fall 2018 semester. She married her husband Michael in November and came on staff as a case manager in December 2018 (it was busy year!). The mission of Austin Angels and the people she gets to work with keep Naomi excited about her job and working with youth in the Dare to Dream program. She is learning to let life direct her and embracing each stop she makes along the way, never knowing what could be next. She is a Hufflepuff and loves sad movies and good books, and she will always stop to pet a dog. Always.

Mastering Poker Math
Dec 17, 2019 12:00 PM
MEETING LOCATION: Mulligan's Restaurant in Sun City My primary education and professional experience is in engineering. Much of my career has been as a mechanical design and development engineer. I have also been a principal systems engineer, a principal quality engineer and a 6-Sigma Expert. I have a BSME from Michigan Tech University and an MBA from Pepperdine University. I am a 6-Sigma Expert and have an Advanced Communicator Gold in Toastmasters. Sports and games have always been a passion of mine. In the beginning of 2016 I started playing Texas No-Limit Hold’em and gravitated towards the game quickly. The math of the game fascinated me, so I read on it, pulled out a statistics book from my MBA program and learned how many of the probabilities are determined. I did many equations to understand the math at a visceral level. I initially played free roll tournaments in the Austin, Round Rock and Cedar Park Texas area to learn the game without breaking the bank. I also played at casinos when possible. My book Mastering Poker Math contains the knowledge, experience and insights into the math and other aspects of Texas No-Limit Hold’em that I have accumulated over time. I live in Georgetown Texas. Besides playing and studying Texas No-Limit Hold’em I enjoy dancing Argentine Tango, exercising, writing, studying the early space program, traveling and visiting with family & friends.

Walking the Appalachian Trail
Jan 07, 2020 12:00 PM
MEETING LOCATION: Mulligan's Restaurant in Sun City Eight pairs of boots and five months later, David Kellerman, a Georgetown businessman, did what few have been able to accomplish—he completed a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail and raised money for veterans along the way.
Kellerman, co-owner of Mel’s Lone Star Lanes, spent 161 days thru-hiking—walking from end-to-end in one trip—the 2,192-mile trail, which runs through 14 states from Georgia to Maine. Kellerman began the trail April 2 in Georgia and reached the top of Mount Katahdin in Maine on Sept. 9. But Kellerman said he knew if he was going to leave his job for five to six months it would have to be for a cause, so he decided to make a national fundraiser out of his trip and raise money for Bowl for Veterans, an organization he has worked with many times through his business. At the end, Kellerman’s journey raised $80,000 for veterans. |

To-Be-Determined
Jan 21, 2020 12:00 PM
MEETING LOCATION: Mulligan's Restaurant in Sun City Three Georgetown residents, including a former Army combat photographer in Vietnam and a retired major general, are planning to build a community where severely injured veterans can live in homes specially adapted for them and learn high-tech job skills. The community, called the Purple Heart Integration Project, will be the first of its kind in Central Texas, if not the nation, said Ted Acheson, one of the founders. Acheson and the other founder, Conley Giles, have started raising the money they need to buy 17.6 acres for the project on County Road 105 in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of Georgetown. Retired Maj. Gen. Michael Terry has joined the nonprofit project’s advisory board and is also helping raise money. Terry is a 35-year Army veteran whose service included being the commanding general for 21,000 troops in Iraq in 2006 in the 13th Expeditionary Sustainment Command. When the community is completed, it will feature 80 homes ranging from 400 to 1,200 square feet and an 8,000-square-foot facility with rooms for high-tech training, a co-working space, a computer lab and a health clinic, Giles said. It will also have a small banquet facility with a commercial kitchen, a swimming pool, a recreation center, raised gardens and a rainwater collection system. Construction of the first phase of the project could start early next year. It will feature 10 homes and the job training facility, as well as the swimming pool, the gym and the banquet facility. Veterans will rent the homes at the project and can stay in them for at least 18 months while learning job skills. They will be able to participate in a research and design facility at the project to help with home designs for people with significant physical challenges, Acheson said.
