We enjoy Raymond's good hospitality at the 602 Brewing Company again this Tuesday, Nov. 3.

Our speaker will be Josh Thomas, of LCRA.

 

The Club did a great job of providing breakfast to the staff at Colorado River Collegiate Academy (CRCA) & Genesis H.S. last Friday. The spread included tacos, fruit, yogurts, casseroles, homemade biscuits, sausage, bagels, schmears(??), juices, Halloween cookies & other treats!  We even provided supplies to upgrade their coffee bar!

Many thanks to all who contributed & showed up to help serve.
