Our clubs’ 2016 year in review report, required by PHIP’s, has been com-pleted and sent to the Mother Ship. Will be sent to all to peruse soon! Very busy year for us with lot’s accomplishments! A few of the highlights are as follows. We now have 509 members, over $42,000.00 cash raised and donated, and over 4,000 volunteer hours reported. Not too shabby for a social club! Thank you all!!!!!! No time to rest on our laurels, it’s time to go to “party school”. Get your beads ready! Saturday the 25
th of Feb. is our annual Mardi Gras
parade. More info to follow soon! Got chili? Rum? Saturday, the 1
st of April, will be our annual chili/rum
challenge. More info on this will be sent soon as well! And now a word from our Membership Director, Karen Mignola! DUES! All are due in January, got yours in on time? Not sure, contact me
JB is starting to announce his new tour dates for 2017! Rumor had it that he was skipping Houston this year because of improvements being made to the CW Pavilion! Not sure if the work there has been completed, but if a date is set for our area, Richard Presley will again be our “go to guy” on this. Time will be of the essence, we/you will have to act fast so be pre-pared! Here’s to it, and to it again! If you ever get to it and don’t do it, you may never get to it to do it again! Rick “Conch Head” Nenninger President, GBPHC Member, TRMA

Growing up in Kansas City, we would always head down to the Lake of the Ozarks and go water skiing and fishing. The Sportmans Harbor Resort was the place we always stayed. They had these little rustic cabins with their own private docks, general store, game room and fishing pier. We loved going down there for the weekend and our summer vacations. Then came college, working on cruise ships, living in NYC, moving to Texas and finally teaching school. I didn’t return to the Lake of the Ozarks until about 8 years ago when we had our family reunion there. One night after everyone was in bed I was sitting down by the fishing pier with my guitar. I noticed that all the dock lights on the lake had been changed to a royal blue color. It was so calm and peaceful just staring out over the glass-like water and listening to the sounds of the lake at night. Sudden-ly, this verse came to me: “Everyone’s down for the night except for me and a few harbor lights I’m sitting out here by the pier enjoying the quiet.” I liked it but I couldn’t think of anything else to put with it at the time. Having lived in Austin since 1995, the Gulf Coast became my new getaway, spe-cifically Port Aransas. I kept thinking about how many times I’d been to Port A and how crossing that ferry always made my shoulders drop and I could just starting coasting. And that’s when I decided I wanted a write song that played on the duality of the word coast. Two years later I was still stuck with just those two lines of lyrics and the song idea of “Coast.” It was around that time one of my student teachers starting their “total teach.” Basically, I had to stay out of my classroom and let them sink or swim with my students. So, I locked myself in my storage closet and decided to try and finish the song. I also wanted to see if I could write a beach song without any kind of alcohol or drinking references in case a student might overhear me singing in the closet. I’m proud to say there is no mention of drinking or alcohol at all in the song! It’s amazing the kind of ideas your mind can come up with when you are staring at white washed cinder block walls in a school closet. I’m glad I didn’t give up on those two lines because the song has definitely struck a chord with many different people around the United States and beyond. It re-minds me of good times growing up at the lake, my time spent at sea and all the great memories I’ve made with my family down in Port Aransas. And that’s my story. Thank you for letting me share it with you. Until I see you again… just Coast! :-) –Dan
