I apologize for not getting out a posting on my trip in Corpus Christi. I had a few things come up and I wasn't able to write something up.
The trip from Corpus Christi was a decent drive...and short in comparison to some of my other trips. Our event was held in the afternoon which meant I had to get rollin' in the morning. It was kind of cool taking an interstate to the point where it ends and seeing the Gulf of Mexico. I didn't get to spend too much toime sighseeing, but I enjoyed the brief sightseeing venture.
Despite the fact that Corpus Christi isn't a huge metropolitan area, it still has two chapter in the city limts and a third chapter about 45 minutes out of town. We had around 14 guys in attendance. There were three alums, three probationary members and the rest were collegiate members. One of the alums in attendance is a police officer, as well as a U.S. Marshall, who is on out unmailable list, but saw our event duringone of his rounds and signed up to be on duty that day.
Afterwards, I sat down with about five guys who wanted more information on alumni associations. There are some hurdles that a group like thus would need to overcome, but they have the desire to make something happen.
I decided to drive to San Antonio that evening for a two-night stay. After a week of packing up every morning to get to the next place, having a day to relax was very welcome.
The stop at San Antionio was not as well attended as I had hoped. We had five alums in attendance, but there should have been far more. The San Antonio Area Alumni Association had just received their charter the week prior and I was hoping to build off of that momentum. Still, two of the guys who attended were not aware of the alumni association and were able to exchange contact information.
So I'm heading home today. There is snow in the forecast in San Antonio so we will see how well the airports down here deal with this type of weather. I am ready to go home and I hope that the weather will work in my favor.
NEXT STOP: EVANSVILLE, IN (through Nashville, Chicago and Louisville)
