It’s safe to say that cancer has touched each and every one of us. We all know someone – a parent, a friend, a neighbor, a co-worker, a client, a sibling – who has had to deal with cancer. Great strides are being made in treating all forms of cancer but, still, far too many people are dying. As you may know, Kitty, my wife of 45 years, lost her very courageous battle with breast cancer last year. It was a devastating loss for me and my family and we miss her every day. A few months after Kitty’s passing, Ken Mattox asked if I would consider chairing this year’s 49th Rotary Lombardi Award. While I have been actively involved in the award for the last 12 years, I had never entertained the idea of chairing this great event. But, after a good bit of soul-searching and talking to past chairs, I accepted Ken’s invitation (he’s not the easiest guy to say “no” to) as a way to honor Kitty and do whatever I can to raise as much money for cancer research as possible. I am passionate about this award and what it stands for and I want each and every member of the Rotary Club of Houston, including our newest members at the Innovation Club, to join us at the Hilton Americas Hotel on December 7, 2022. And I have an offer that will make it a little easier for some of you to attend. In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and in honor of Kitty, I am offering to pay the first $1,000 on five $2,500 Lettermen's tables, lowering the cost per seat from $250 to $150. This will be on a first come, first served basis and will run until Friday, November 11. I am reserving two of the tables for Rotarians and their guests who have never attended the award. And, although I’m not putting restrictions on the other tables, in the spirit of the Four Way Test my goal is for them to be filled with Rotary Club of Houston and Innovation Club members and their guests. Please reserve seats for you and your guests by clicking on the link below and registering. If you have any questions, please call me at 713 787-2171 (office) or 713 824-4563 (cell). I look forward to sharing the evening of December 7th with you as we, for the 49th time, proudly present the Rotary Lombardi Award to the top college football lineman in America. Yours in Rotary Service, Tom Vann |

Evolving Demographics in Houston

For decades our speaker has researched and reported on the ever evolving demographics in Houston while watching the country mirror those changes. Our Oct 13th speaker is always popular and engaging:
Dr. Stephen Klineberg has been shaping local thought on the ongoing trends in Houston for almost forty years. As the director of the annual “Kinder Houston Area Survey” (1982-2020), he has tracked the economic outlooks, demographic patterns, life experiences, and beliefs of area residents through 39 years of remarkable change. His book exploring the national implications of the first 38 years of this research, entitled Prophetic City: Houston on the Cusp of a Changing America, was published in June 2020 by Simon & Schuster. Klineberg is the recipient of twelve major teaching awards at Rice and a much sought-after speaker in the Houston community and beyond. He is a graduate of Haverford College, with an MA from the University of Paris, and a PhD from Harvard. He and his wife Margaret have lived in Houston since the early 1970s; they have two children and five grandchildren. |

HALL OF FAME LIMELIGHT: HARRY REASONER By Katrina Dewey | May 31, 2022 | Lawyer Limelights He’s been a “Billion-dollar Lawyer” for more than three decades, spent time as a clerk to Judge Charles Clark and Judge Thurgood Marshall on the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. He made a massive impact on antitrust, energy and commercial law in Texas and throughout the U.S. But what Harry Reasoner would rather discuss as he nears his 60th year of practice are his pro bono matters – from individual child custody cases, to winning the right for prisoners to write confidentially to their lawyers and get books and magazines, to the right of the University of Texas Law School to use race as a factor in admission. He’s passionate about his work in Guajardo v. Estelle, which resulted in a settlement overseen by the U.S. District Court in Houston that survived for roughly 30 years, granting Texas prison inmates the right to obtain books and magazines and correspond confidentially with their attorneys as well as news reporters. “One area of our society that could greatly stand improvement is our prisons,” says Reasoner. “We don’t do enough to rehabilitate. You ought to make it so that kids who get there come out with high school degrees.” Reasoner made partner six years after joining Vinson & Elkins' Houston office. He won a verdict of $1B in 1989 in an antitrust battle over a proposed coal-slurry pipeline and would go on to serve as managing partner for 10 years, 1992 through 2001.

First, this is a greeting to each of you, wishing you a healthy happy and productive year 2023. Many right things are in place for this to be a very fruitful year, in all the things we do, say, and hope for. Imagine Rotary is not only our theme for this year, but we have also together learned and participated in many innovative things, and I have a strong premonition that “we ain’t seen nothing yet.” We are so blessed in our club to have so many forward thinking people in many diverse and balanced areas and disciplines. Both our active members, visitors, and speakers have shared so many “imagine” thoughts this year so far, but we have 6 months more to go as we together rebuild ideas, visions, community, and beyond. Our first Thursday noon meeting of the Rotary Club of Houston will be on January 5, 2023. I want the program for that day to be US and our visitors, just as we have every week. This should be both a club and individual revitalization. We will involve everyone at every table as we address several things:
I am very excited about this upcoming club interaction and strategizing. This is not a member only meeting as many of our visitors and anticipated upcoming new members are part of our 2023 Rotary Imagine good times. Thank you for the privilege and opportunity of being your President of the Rotary Club of Houston this year. Kenneth L. Mattox |

Michael Hagerty "Houston Matters: The Daily Guide to All Things Houston." For the past ten years, Michael Hagerty has worked as the senior producer for Houston Matters, the daily radio show and podcast about all things Houston that's heard Monday through Friday at 9 a.m. on Houston Public Media (KUHF/88.7FM), our city's NPR and PBS station (KUHT/Ch. 8). Michael has spent more than 20 years in public radio and television in places like Abilene and Waco, Texas, along with Reno, Nevada. There he dabbled in minor league baseball, spending four seasons as the public address announcer for the Reno Aces, the Triple-A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks. He lives with his wife, Melanie (a Houston native), in Clear Lake in a home built for the original NASA employees (how Houston is that?) with his two children, Louis (4), and Cora (2) and cat, Nunzio. He grew up outside Chicago in northwest Indiana before moving to Greater Houston at age ten and loves Houston so much he roots for the Astros almost as hard as he does his first baseball love, the Chicago Cubs. |

BECAUSE YOU HAVE REPEATEDLY ASK & REASKED – President Kenneth Mattox has put together a tabletop panel of individuals including himself, Roberto Canavati. Dr. David Persse, Dr. James Harrell, Laura Jahns, Annie Song Torres & others who routinely aid others in “Innovative 24 Access in Navigating Recognizing and Responding to potentially life threating medical conditions.” Without any HIPPA violations, real life cases will be presented and discussed. Houston is home to some of the most fantastic medical, psychiatric, and surgical care anywhere in the world, but is worthless if it cannot be accessed when needed. Mechanisms to get the right person, to the right place, to see the right provider, in the right time, will be discussed. Every single person attending Rotary Club weekly meetings has experienced those very scary sinking feelings when encountering signs, symptoms, and fears that these perhaps represent the signals that immediate health access is indicated, but concern that an expensive extraneous workup might need to be avoided. Various public, private, and even purchased services have been arranged, with names such as “Care Navigator; Concierge Services; VIP Response; and 24 Access” are descriptors of existing vehicles to speedy and professional screening and therapeutic evaluation and care. We will be emphasizing the symptoms which should NOT be ignored and what to do for:
There WILL be time for questions from the floor. You may want to have some paper to take notes. Kenneth L, Mattox, MD |
