															Hello [firstname], 
															 
															 
														
															Join us April 10, 2012 for a discussion on the history of flood control in Harris County.  Flood control planning and improvements have played a significant role in the successful development of the Greater Houston area.  The Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD) was created by the Texas Legislature in 1937 in a response to devastating floods that struck the region in 1929 and 1935.  The work of HCFCD is evident throughout Harris County including many bayou improvements and flood control detention facilities combined with recreation areas.  But is that the whole story? 
														 
															 At our April lunch meeting we are pleased to have Mr. Michael D. Talbott review the history of flood control in Harris County and provide a historical look at the military engineers' influence in the region.   Join us to learn the real story of flood control in Harris County, including a particular emphasis relating navigation decisions to flood damage reduction strategies.

															Hess Club, 11:30 AM
														
															The program will begin promptly at 12:00PM

														&lt;div&gt;
															&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
														&lt;div&gt;
															The program will start promptly at 12:00PM.&lt;/div&gt;

While we have all been kept informed on the progress made during the session regarding issues related very closely to our profession such as preserving QBS, encroachments into our scope of practice, dam safety and the architecture/engineering scope of practice dispute, there were many other bills passed that impact our business in the construction industry. 
														 
															 
														 
															At our January lunch meeting we are pleased to have Mr. Mitch Milby and Mr. Robert Miklos review many new bills that will impact our work in the construction industry and our business operations.Mr. Milby is an experienced trial attorney who works in the construction law field, and Mr. Miklos is a former state legislator who can provide an insider's view of the legislative process.

We will be celebrating the holidays at the Post Oak Grill located in the Galleria at 6:00PM.
															 
																 
															 
																In addition to the fabulous food, the socializing and mingling time, we will be collecting toys for the Toys for Tots program. If interested in participating, please bring a new, unwrapped, non-violent toy to the party.
															 
																 
															 
																Online registration for the holiday party is now available!  CLICK HERE

You do not need to register the second person separately.

			<description>&lt;div&gt;
	&lt;p class=&quot;ecxMsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
		&lt;b&gt;We are very sad to report that George Love, P.E. passed away on January 27, 2011.&amp;nbsp; George was a long-standing and well-respected member and supporter of the Houston engineering community.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p class=&quot;ecxMsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
		&lt;b&gt;A memorial service will be held to honor George on Monday, January 31, 2011 at 11:00 am at the Christ Evangelical Presbyterian Church [8300 Katy Freeway, Houston, TX 77055].&amp;nbsp; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p class=&quot;ecxMsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
		&lt;b&gt;There will not be a visitation or a funeral home location, so any flower arrangements should be coordinated directly with the church office [Phone: 713/526-1188].&amp;nbsp; It is anticipated that specific information about memorials will be in the official obituary in the Saturday Houston Chronicle.&amp;nbsp; We would also encourage you to consider a memorial to the Texas Engineering Foundation as George was a strong supporter of this organization that supports education for engineers and engineering students. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
