WCR Fort Bend September Meeting


September


September always means WCR/TAR meetings in San Antonio or Austin.  This year we went to San Antonio.  Saba Sharif joined Barbara, Kim and Theresa to get better acquainted with WCR from the State level.  We began our trip with a PMN class on Negotiations sponsored by the San Antonio chapter and held at Champions School of Real Estate.  The class was taught by Becky Hill, former State of Texas and National WCR President.  The meeting was held at the Hyatt Regency on the River Walk.  Jo Ann Stevens and Joan Berger were also in attendance.   We attended sessions on Friday, and attended a fundraiser on that evening where our group won the costume contest. The Governing Board meeting on Saturday morning covered Elections of State Chapter officers. The meeting ended with the installation luncheon for incoming State President, Sylvia Seabolt.  Our own Cathy Simeone did a beautiful job with the luncheon decorations.



Our September 13, meeting featured our annual chapter elections. Our nominating committee, headed up by Lane Pearson, recommended Theresa Fehr, President-Elect, Evelyn Gordon, Vice-President of Membership, Dawn Spiccia, Secretary, and Andi St. Jean, Treasurer.   In recognition of 9/11/01, we had special visitors from Impact a Hero, a local organization established to help veterans who have been seriously injured cope with returning to civilian life.  Jim Hoelker, who established the group, shared a very touching film.  In addition, he brought Army Specialists Dillon Cannon, who led the Pledge of Allegiance, and share with us what the program has meant for him.
