There’s only one lesson this month since we’re go- ing on vacation. The Foxtrot is the most popular of ballroom dances and is almost the same as the Texas Two-step. Any “moves” you do to the Foxtrot can also be done to the Two-step. If you want to get motivated about dancing, then listen to this. A doctor told some friends of ours that dancing is one of the best things to do to prevent diminishing mental capabili- st ties. Two reasons...it’s good exercise, plus 1 Thursday it makes you think about what you’re doing and how to do it! As always, the classes are free. You need a partner to dance with, but you don’t need a partner to watch the Atrium Art Walk lessons and enjoy the mu- sic. Hope you can make it!

  • In Our Community Creating Bright Spots of Hope
    Annual Report 2020 Creating Bright Spots of Hope in our Community Impact San Antonio members watch a demonstration of San Antonio Clubhouse’s new hydroponic garden funded by a 2018 High Impact Grant. The hydroponic farming system provides recovery-oriented volunteer opportunities for Clubhouse members with mental health challenges. MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT As I reflect on this most unusual year of challenges, I was heartened by the depth of caring and generosity coming from our members, sponsors and other supporters that allowed us to continue our legacy of making transformational grants to outstanding local nonprofits. Here are some highlights of what we accomplished as a dedicated team of women coming together with a shared purpose of helping our community: • $490,000 in grants awarded to 10 nonprofits • First time we awarded 6 High Impact Grants at $75,000 each • Over $4.2 million awarded since 2005 • 580 women stepping up to support our community • Adjustments to our grant guidelines that acknowledged the new health and financial stresses nonprofits were facing • Ability to pivot to virtual operations to keep us all safe during the pandemic As a significant funder of grants to local nonprofits, it’s important to us that the community knows we’re here as an enduring resource. It’s also important that we spread the word to warmhearted, civic minded women to join us. The more of us who come together, the bigger the impact we can make. 2021 holds the promise of life slowly returning to normal, but there will still be many who need help to get through the day and rebuild their lives.

Nearly ten years ago, close to 6,000 San Antonians created a shared vision for the community. This vision, defined by eleven Community Results, outlined multiple goals to be reached by the year 2020. In order to guide this decade-long strategic vision into action, SA2020, an independent, nonprofit organization, was created in 2012. Today, San Antonio is the only large city in the country that has a shared community vision written by the people who call the city home, a separate nonprofit holding the community accountable to that vision (that’s SA2020!), and more than 160 multi-sector organizations aligning their work to move the needle on Community Results.

    Tricentennial Chronology And The Founding Events In The History of San Antonio And Bexar County by Robert Garcia Jr. Hector J. Cardenas and Dr. Amy Jo Baker San Antonio, Texas March 2018 i i Tricentennial Chronology And The Founding Events In The History of San Antonio And Bexar County By Robert Garcia Jr. Hector J. Cardenas and Dr. Amy Jo Baker Published by Paso de la Conquista San Antonio, Texas Mar. 2018 i Library of Congress Control Number: 2018934169 Published: Feb, 2018 San Antonio, Texas Copyright Pending. Outside Cover of Mission San José: public domain ii Introduction In 2015, San Antonio’s Tricentennial Commission created the opportunity for the citizens of San Antonio to rediscover their shared cultural heritage, history and to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the founding of our beloved City in 1718. Collaboratives were formed with public institutions to further develop presentations commemorating our City’s history. Many months were spent on these projects and in the year 2018, they will be presented to the public in open venues. An out-come of this year’s celebration is this publication, “Tricentennial Chronology and The Founding Events In The History of San Antonio And Bexar County”. The last published chronology of San Antonio was in 1950 by Edward Hunsinger. For this new study, approximately 1½ years was spent developing additional details and entries of events in San Antonio’s 300-year history. Other chronologies were studied, books were referenced and honored historians were consulted. Every attempt was made to edit and re-edit the many editions of the chronology until this latest edition is being published.
