RCHS had a fantastic March 6th meeting celebrating and thanking volunteers of Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center for completing our 5th blood drive, thanking and presenting certificates of appreciation to Pink Door's Cortney Cole & Lee Mitchell (Chair) for partnering with RCHS for My Pink Valentine Auction, and then heard from Candace Beeke (Editor of Houston Business Journal). Ms. Beeke was on fire explaining the mission of HBJ, and clearly is the perfect leader for Houston's leading business newspaper.

Rotary Skyline hit the lottery getting Miss Texas USA 2012 Brittany Booker to be our speaker. Brittany discussed her impetus for entering pageant (Christian faith), service platform (serving special needs children, as she has already done as a regular volunteer at Hope Village Home for the Mentally Challenged), meal she most looks forward to when Miss USA pageant is over (mac n cheese), and advice she has received from previous winners (don't try to be "Miss Texas" just be yourself). Young ladies do not come any sweeter or more genuine. We loved hearing from Miss Texas USA!
