President’s Message ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING Sunday, October 25th, 2:00 pm 309 W. Sealy Street (Alvin Senior Center) The summer months were filled with ups and downs for us. We were “up” learning that the restored Post Office Mural project was underway with a possible completion date of the middle of September. Continuing, we were “down” learning that the replacement of the hallway floor required asbestos removal, delaying the completion of repairs there and in the exhibit hall. By the end of July we were on the way to seeing all back to normal, until the air conditioning went out the first week of August, causing us to be closed for the next three weeks. Thanks to our COO, Tom Stansel, and the assistance of the City of Alvin, all needed repairs were made and we resumed “business as usual.” Throughout all of the situations, we did stay “up” due to a steady stream of responses from members who renewed within the transition period. In addition several new business members joined, bringing our total membership to 321 to date.
