Well the 58th Southwest Regional Convention has come to a close. For those of you who were not able to make it, it was great as usual. The convention was hosted by the Fort Worth Club who did a terrific job.
Changes have been made, as we join with the Mid-West our new name will be “Heart of America”. Some of us had the opportunity to chat with and have fun with some of the mid-westerner’s that attended. The next convention in April of 2005 will be held in Ft. Smith, Arkansas and the convention in April of 2006 will be in Lafayette, La. We also have a new HOT Governor, John Hemenway of the Northwest Austin Club. John has been around for a long time and was a District Foundation Representative.
I am proud to say our club received The District Service to Mankind Award, David Pearce; the District and Regional Serteen of the Year Award, Tiffanie Nicole Harrison of Zoi Ora Filos; the District National Heritage Award; District and Regional Club Excellence; District Club Attendance and last but certainly not least the District and Regional Bulletin Award. I would like to thank Kent Ochel again for stepping in when he was needed. There were approximately 10 displays, that’s the most we ever had at a convention. Although we did not win this year, kudos go to Bill Buckler for the fantastic job he did on our display. He always comes through for us.
I want to thank all of our club members for the great job they are doing. Without their help we could never accomplish all that we do. Keep the spirit of Service to Mankind close to your heart and we can perform miracles.
Dottie Gill
President

Round Rock was established on the north bank of Brushy Creek where Jacob M. Harrell set up his shop during the spring of 1848. The settlement was first called Brushy Creek. Thomas C. Oatts, who became the first postmaster in 1851, was asked by postal officials to submit another name, and on August 24, 1854, the town officially became Round Rock. |
