President’s Message

In the fall of this year the Executive Committee will be appointing a Nominating Committee, the members of which will be responsible for developing a slate of candidates to stand for election for the offices of President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer of the Brazos Heritage Society.  The election will take place at the Annual Membership Meeting, which will be held in February 2014.

All current members of the Society are eligible to serve on this important committee.  If you are interested in being appointed to the Nominating Committee, please feel free to send me an email at dan.beto@gmail.com or give me a call at 822-1273.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, we need members to serve in leadership positions.  If you are willing to serve as an officer in the Society – be it President, Vice President, Secretary, or Treasurer – please let me know.

It is not too soon to begin thinking about seeking elective office in the Society.

I would like to see more members involved in the governance of our organization.  I look forward to hearing from you.

On another matter, the Society has a newly designed webpage, thanks to Vice President Isabel McPartlin and her husband, Todd.  This new website has the same address as the old one, www.brazosheritage.org.

If you have not done so, please visit the website, which is still a work in progress.  Suggestions are welcomed and may be sent to the following email address: brazos.heritage@gmail.com.

For the foreseeable future, until a sufficient number of people have been trained to input information on the new website, the Society will continue to use our electronic newsletter – Heritage Brazos – to convey information to the membership in a timely manner.  The web address for Heritage Brazos continues to be: http://heritagebrazos.blogspot.com.  

May the remainder of your summer be enjoyable.

                                                                        Dan Beto, President
