The Honorable Silvestre Reyes, 2010-2011 President
Dear Fellow Texans,
On the 174th anniversary of the Battle of San Jacinto, the
membership of the Texas State Society of Washington, D.C. met for their annual meeting. As a
result of those proceedings, I was honored to be chosen to lead the Texas State Society for
the coming year. The next twelve months will be filled with exciting events for the Society!
I would like to thank our past President, Bill Christian. Under his leadership, several
successful changes to the yearly events have given the Society a breath of fresh air. The
annual meeting, combined with a Robert Earl Keen concert at the Capitol Hyatt Regency was
a great night of fellowship with fellow Texas State Society members and proud Robert Earl
Keen fans. On behalf of the entire TSS membership, I extend Bill a big "Thank You."
Planning is underway for all of the great events that are on every TSS member's social
calendar, including the return of the Texas Breakfast Club. Starting off the season, the
Society's favorite event – the annual Father's Day Picnic – will be held on
Sunday, June 20th at the Smokey Glen Farm in Gaithersburg,
Maryland. I hope you will join us. Later in the summer we will gather to celebrate the
birthday of Lyndon Baines Johnson. In the fall, we are looking forward to a great Texas
music event. More details on both of these gatherings are coming soon.
The board joins me in inviting newcomers (and old timers) to the Washington, D.C. area to
join the Texas State Society. You are welcome to join by contacting our office at 301-809-TXTX
(301-809-8989) or by visiting www.texasstatesociety.org where you will find information
about membership in the Society and upcoming events. Please join us for Texas-style
fellowship and fun.
The Honorable Silvestre Reyes
TSS President, 2010-2011
