  • Stronger, Healthier, Safer
    STRONGER, HEALTHIER, SAFER THE YMCA OF METROPOLITAN DALLAS 2018 ANNUAL REPORT www.ymcadallas.org 1 Dear YMCA Family and Friends, 2018 was an outstanding year meeting the needs of the communities we are fortunate to serve. We did this through terrific programs serving all ages in our community, including two new programs, the Summer Learning Academy and Kamp K’aana. Focused on education, the Academy keeps at risk children on grade level and slows the challenge of summer learning loss. K’aana gives children who struggle with weight the opportunity to learn about a healthier lifestyle while spending an active two weeks at Camp Grady Spruce. Needs were also met at Y branches as members improved their health and wellness while spending time with new and old friends. All our work is underscored by our mission, “To put Christian values into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all.” The Dallas YMCA is in our 134th year of service to our community. The beauty of the Y is adapting to the changing needs of fast-growing communities. We look quite a bit different than we did in 1885 but we’re consistent in standing ready to serve those that need the Y. We are proud to share with you a snapshot into the life of your Y over the past year. You are an important part of what makes the Y great and we appreciate your commitment, participation and support. This is Our Story.

  • July 31 Transcript
    July 31 Transcript Texas Department of Transportation Commission Meeting Dillard College of Business Administration Building Auditorium, Room 101 Hampstead Lane at Council Drive Wichita Falls, Texas Thursday, July 31, 2008 COMMISSION MEMBERS: Deirdre Delisi, Chair Ted Houghton, Jr. Ned S. Holmes Fred A. Underwood STAFF: Amadeo Saenz, Executive Director Steve Simmons, Deputy Executive Director Bob Jackson, General Counsel Roger Polson, Executive Assistant to the Deputy Executive Director Dee Hernandez, Chief Minute Clerk PROCEEDINGS MS. DELISI: Good morning. It is 9:03 a.m., and I would like to call the July 2008 meeting of the Texas Transportation Commission to order. Note for the record that public notice of this meeting, containing all items on the agenda, was filed with the Office of the Secretary of State at 2:50 p.m. on July 23, 2008. First, let me say how pleased we are to be holding this month's Transportation Commission meeting here in Wichita Falls. It's our practice to take the commission meetings on the road outside of Austin three or four times a year. It's a valuable opportunity because it gives us the chance to see firsthand how our local partners are addressing their own transportation challenges. It also provides some valuable insight to the local community and citizens about how we conduct our business. This is only the second time in the 91-year history that this commission has met in Wichita Falls, and it's been more than twelve years since our last meeting here, so hopefully we can return again before another twelve years pass.

Introduction Political scientists have long used roll call votes cast by members of the U.S. Congress to plot the legislators on the liberal-conservative dimension along which most legislative politics in our nation’s capital (as well as in Austin) now takes place.1 Here, drawing on the data provided by roll call votes held during the combined 2011 regular and first special legislative sessions (January-June), I provide similar information for the members of the Texas House of Representatives. These data provide a window from which to view only one facet of a representative’s activities in Austin, and should thus be considered as one of many tools utilized by citizens to evaluate their elected officials.
