The Communications Committee, with Cris Weber and Jayne McClure spearheading the operation, did an outstanding job in putting together the attached Summer Texas ASBPA Chapter Newsletter.  The newsletter includes:

• Message from the President
• Windstorm Insurance situation and TWIA
• ASBPA 2013 Conference in South Padre
• A Case for Open Beach Access
• Let’s get involved!
• Running of the turtles
• Brown tide in Laguna Madre
• Texas beaches and waterways – best pictures

Plus more.  I know you will agree that this is one of the best newsletters the Texas ASBPA Chapter has produced and I hope you enjoy the articles and pictures.

Don’t forget, the Texas ASBPA Chapter meeting in Matagorda, Texas, this Friday, July 26, at 11:45 AM.  A great luncheon is planned with local grilled shrimp and fried oysters.  See details in the newsletter here and hope to see you there.
