The TIAA held its annual meeting May 19 and elected new officers for the year. We also had a special guest, Steve Marum, the co-founder and organizer of the BEST Robotics challenge that's now in its 30th year.
New officers elected by the members are Syamal Parikh, President; Nancy Little, Executive VP; Bob Rifkin, Treasurer; and Mary Helmick, Secretary. The officers serve July 1 through June 30, 2023.
John Robert (Bob) Campbell, 84, went to be with the Lord on April 8, 2022 in Dallas, Texas. His funeral service will be held on April 13th at 10:00 am at First United Methodist Church of Richardson, Texas. Bob was suffering from dementia, but as Paul referenced in his letter 2 Timothy 4:7, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." Bob was born in July of 1937 to his parents, Reuel and Dorothy Campbell in Norman, Oklahoma.
TIAA is teaming up again with active TIers for the Annual TIAA/TI Charity Golf Tournament. The event is scheduled for Monday, May 16, at the Waterview Golf Club in Rowlett, TX, with a shotgun start at 1:00 p.m. Because TI has shifted its annual United Way Campaign to the spring, we have moved the Golf Tournament earlier in the year to support the campaign.
The Texas Bluebonnet (Lupinus texensis) has been the state flower of Texas since 1901 and holds a special place in any Texan's heart. They are hardy and rugged, yet beautiful flowers that blanket roadsides, pastures, and meadows across the state every spring.
The Hill Country and Blackland Prairie Ecoregions is the native range of Texas bluebonnets, but many Texans have planted bluebonnets far beyond that range.
