Greater Houston Pachyderm Club

What a wonderful meeting today at the Greater Houston Pachyderm Club! We were delighted to welcome David Falloure, Author, as our guest speaker.

David took us on a fascinating journey through Nautical Texas — sharing captivating tales of the Port of Houston, the Houston Ship Channel, and the Port of Beaumont. His deep knowledge and passion for the waterways that shaped our region made for an engaging and memorable presentation.

We are grateful for his time and expertise, and our members came away with a whole new appreciation for the maritime history right here in our own backyard!

It was a pleasure having Texans for Lawsuit Reform CEO Ryan Patrick speak today at GHP Club. He gave us the history of the organization while explaining how dealing with lawsuit reform had brought about an excellent environment for business in Texas and its economy.

We’d like to extend a sincere thank you to our guest speaker, Jed Aplaca, President and CEO of the Houston Audubon Society, for joining the Greater Houston Pachyderm Club yesterday.

Jed delivered an engaging and insightful presentation on “Why Birds Matter to Houston?”—highlighting the critical role birds play in our local ecosystem, economy, and quality of life. From conservation efforts to the impact on our community, his perspective gave us plenty to think about.

We appreciate his time, expertise, and dedication to preserving the natural beauty of our region.

An interesting and informative historical presentation by the Honorable Ken Wise made yesterday’s Greater Houston Pachyderm Club meeting truly special. On San Jacinto Day, we proudly celebrated the 190th anniversary of this monumental battle for Texas independence.

We also took time to recognize and toast the strong, pioneering women of that era whose contributions helped shape history. In addition, we honored the memory of the late SJ Swanson, who began the cherished tradition of inviting Ken Wise to speak to our club each San Jacinto Day.

A meaningful day of history, remembrance, and appreciation!

Thank you to State Board of Education Member Will Hickman (District 6) for joining us and sharing his insightful “Texas Education Update.”

We appreciate his dedication to advancing education in Texas and for keeping our community informed on the important issues impacting students, parents, and educators across our state.

We appreciate everyone who attended and look forward to seeing you at our next meeting! 🇺🇸 🐘
