(Formerly the San Antonio Women’s Celebration and Hall of Fame Inc.), a Non- Profit Corporation in Texas President’s Message March 27, 2010 Greetings! It is a pleasure to share this occasion with you as we honor and induct the 2010 class into the San Antonio Women’s Hall of Fame. We announce and induct these outstanding women into the Hall of Fame during Women’s History Month each year. The 2010 theme of the National Women’s History Project is, “Writing Women Back Into History”. To date, there have been over three hundred women inducted into the Hall of Fame and many have seen their research, inventions, community contributions, and products become part of the history of our San Antonio! As we celebrate the achievements of women today, we pause to reflect upon an illustrious past that began in 1984. With a vision that ignited the passion of Dr. Gloria Jo Floyd, founder of the San Antonio Women’s Hall of Fame, she met and shared her ideas with other women. Upon the inception of the San Antonio Women’s Hall of Fame, an initial group of women, i.e., our Founding Members, were invited to become an integral part of the organization through induction. Over the course of a quarter of a century, these 300-plus women have continued to achieve to the highest levels and give our city the quality of life that we all enjoy! Today, we are excited to celebrate the induction of twelve outstanding women in our community who have distinguished themselves through their extraordinary service in varied fields! We hope you will be inspired today by these truly remarkable women who make a critical difference to the ongoing progress and well being of our community on a daily basis. They, indeed, are exemplary role models! We salute our 2010 inductees!

In 1536 Cabeza de Vaca entered Mexico City after a harrowing journey that included six years in captivity among various indigenous groups. A survivor of the catastrophic Narvaez Expedition (1527) he returned with stories resulting in subsequent Spanish excursions searching for gold as well as rich descriptions of the natives and their way of life. The problem to arise from this was that de Vaca included valuable ethnographies of such groups in his account but he did not know where he was, making the identification of such groups difficult for modern scholars. In his dissertation, the late Alex D. Krieger utilized his personal knowledge of the geography and environment ofTexas to trace the route most likely traveled by de Vaca and his companions.

  • Summer Issue | 2008
    CHANGING LIVES THROUGH RESPONSIBILITY. Summer Issue 2008 On the Cover: Scooter Scooter, a male mixed breed, came to SNIPSA in 2005. At that time, there was no official non-profit status, just a handful of well- meaning Samaritans chasing stray and unwanted animals around San Antonio. Scooter was just another stray – running with a pack and looking for his next meal. After being detained by the St. Mary’s University campus police for traveling without a license, he made his way to the home of two veterinarians where he was scheduled to be neutered. After his surgery, Scooter was placed in an adoptive home. That didn’t work out and within a week he was back with the veterinarians. He shredded the blinds, salivated in his kennel, and proceeded to wreck havoc throughout the house. And, he never left... In 2006, the group officially formed SNIPSA – a local rescue dedicated to saving homeless and abandoned animals from high kill shelters. With the support of an incredible volunteer base and countless hours of work, SNIPSA has rescued and rehomed over 1,000 animals. Scooter’s Specs ORIGIN: running at large, St. Mary’s University ETHNICITY: mixed parentage MEASUREMENTS: 12 inch waist 18 inch chest 14 inch collar HOBBIES: listening to XM radio, getting car sick, chasing chickens, attending SNIPSA events STYLE: bringing fuchsia spandex back, Libby Lu headphones, Plush Puppy Volumizing Mousse for a shiny, healthy coat Join us in raising awareness about homeless animals in our community.
