Mark your calendar:  Our next meeting will be on December 9 in Port Neches, a luncheon at the Neches River Wheelhouse restaurant (see:  http://www.nechesriverwheelhouse.com/), and the next one will also be a luncheon on March 8, 2017, in Austin during the Legislative Session at the Scholz Garten Restaurant (see:  http://www.scholzgarten.com/).

Please note, we would like the Port Neches meeting to finalize our legislative agenda for the 2017 Federal and State.  Please review the attached legislative agendas we developed for the 2016 Federal and for the 2015 Texas Legislative Session.  Some of the agenda items will be deleted but please review and let me know if you would like to add any items for your area or for all of the Texas coast.

We will use the Texas ASBPA Legislative Federal agenda when we are at the ASBPA Washington Summit the end of February, 2017.  The same for the Texas State Legislative agenda to use whenever anyone visits Austin during the legislative session and also during the time we have our March 9 meeting.  The State and Federal legislative agendas have been very helpful when we meet the legislators.

Again, please let me know your legislative agenda items you would like the Texas Chapter to address.

Thanks again for your help and have a great weekend.

Jerry Mohn
President
