PATRICIA BRISON TO SPEAK TO WOMEN’S CLUB ON MARCH 22
Patricia Brison will speak to the Women’s Club of Lakeway on Monday, March 22. She is an authority on Texas history. Patricia will give a presentation, highlighted with slides, on Texas history from1500 to modern days - starting with the Spanish arrival in the early 1500’s. She will discuss the many adventurers, statesmen, and fascinating characters woven into Texas history, the clash of Spanish, American Indian, Mexican, French and American cultures, the Mission Period, the settling of Texas by the old three hundred, the Texas Revolution, cattle drives, the discovery of oil, and the growth of Texas into the important position it plays in our global economy. Patricia said she hopes her "love of Texas history comes across in her presentation." Patricia has a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Texas and was a teacher at Bellaire High School in Houston for 15 years. During her career she received numerous awards such as: Bellaire PTO Outstanding Teacher of the Year, Profiles of Prominence Education Award, Outstanding Educator Award, and Harris County Heritage Society 20 Year Docent Award. She has been active in many volunteer roles and many organizations. Her bio is overwhelmingly impressive and extensive. She has developed and scripted several slide shows on Texas history, for example: Houston History, Steeples and Stained Glass (historic Houston churches), Sam Houston Park and the Heritage Society, Sam Houston - the Legend and the Man, and Texas History. She has been the featured speaker for many and varied engagements. We are very fortunate to have her as the featured speaker at the Women’s Club organization in March.

WOMEN’S CLUB OF GREATER LAKEWAY February, 2010 – Bulletin Board PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE As I write this message (January 9th), we are experiencing the coldest temperatures in thirty years! My goodness, we have certainly had our share of climate extremes during my presidency! The temperature in my house is 67 degrees, but Winston is in "Boy Scout Heaven" hauling wood and stoking the fire! Our Spring Dance committee is hard at work planning a lovely event for us to be held on Friday, March 5, in the Vista Ballroom at the Lakeway Resort and Spa. The Starlite Ball will be a festive beginning to spring 2010. Can you believe how quickly this year has passed? Get your tables together and come party with us!! February is the month we look toward the future of the Women’s Club by submitting names of our talented members to the nominating committee. Our Parliamentarian, Julianne DeBower, will chair the nominating committee composed of Lana Brown, Ernie Clay, Doris Hagedorn, Linda Swan, and Vickie Taylor. Please submit your nominations to these ladies by the February meeting. We really value your suggestions to determine the leadership of our organization. Enclosed is the Nominating Form to use as a guide. You may make suggestions for one or all of the positions. Have a Happy Valentine’s Day and Mardi Gras! Janet Eaddy, President 1ST VICE PRESIDENT: PROGRAMS: MONDAY FEBRUARY 22ND, 2010 We are truly honored to have Rosie Babin as our guest speaker for February. Rosie and her high school sweetheart husband, Alain Sr., joined the Army together under the Buddy System in 1978 and traveled all over Europe as they proudly served their Country. They credit Uncle Sam for paying for a 3 year honeymoon while they served. They separated from the Army in 1983, and, after spending 8 years in California, moved to Round Rock, Texas. Rosie, with her "passion to serve," has always been considered an "overachiever." She was deeply engaged in volunteer work for her church, her school, and her Community while in California and was serving on 12 committees when they decided to move to Texas.
He was a child of God as he ran to assist a wounded fellow soldier in Baghdad, when a bullet ripped into his side and obliterated 90 percent of his stomach, destroyed his spleen, and damaged his pancreas and liver. Alan spent two years in hospitals and survived over 70 surgeries, with Rosie constantly by his side. Rosie’s story about Alan’s continuing recovery, both in her words and her slideshow presentation, is heart-warming and awe-inspiring. She is such an exceptional lady and a joy to be around. Her wit is always razor-sharp, and her sense of humor so apparent as she tells of helping Alan relearn how to eat, to talk, to walk, and to do just "everyday actions" we all take for granted. Rosie says, "I raised him once, I can do it again!" You will not want to miss this special lady’s inspiring and passion-filled Presentation. Join us at 9:30 for coffee and conversation, followed by the Women’s Club Meeting at 10:00, in the Rio Grande Ballroom. Jody Berry at 261-3253, jodyb2@austin.rr.com FEBRUARY LUNCHEON, FEBRUARY 22ND We had our cold weather so we escaped to the warmth of Miami Beach for January.

For the next nine years, Rosie reveled in her life’s many blessings. She
managed an accounting firm and was active in her church and the Founder
Lions Club of Austin. Her daughter, Christy, had blossomed into an
accomplished scholar-athlete, and her son, Alan, 22, felt compelled
after the events of September 11, 2001, to become a medic with the U.S.
Army’s elite 82nd Airborne Division. As he left for duty, he assured
her, "Mom, we know what our mission is and we’re well-trained. I’m a
child of God and I’ll be okay."
