  • The Newsletter of Baylor Round Table
    The Newsletter of Baylor Round Table INSPIRATIONAL CONNECTIONS FOR BAYLOR ROUND TABLE CONTINUE! One of the highlights of our year has become the Christmas celebration in Armstrong Browning Library. As we all face the hustle, bustle stress of the holidays, it is so fulfilling to pause and listen as the heavenly voices of the Baylor Chamber Singers remind us of the importance of slowing down and reflecting on the many blessings of the true meaning of Christmas. And if you have never heard the Chamber Singers perform in the McLean Foyer of Meditation, it is a moment like no other to uplift and inspire. This year didn’t disappoint on December 4 when the capacity crowd became hushed to hear the choir’s melodic voices “soar in celebration of the season.” The luncheon that followed was a heart-warming time to visit with long-time friends and make new ones among our members and guests. Ladies, the food was absolutely delicious and the desserts vanished as soon as the plates were passed around the room! And it’s always a delight to see what beautiful floral arrangements Martha Ervin has created for ABL and us. I want to personally thank our co-chairs Kay Mueller and Carol Schuetz for their outstanding leadership; the hard-working committee of Cyndie Burgess, Linda Cates, Martha Ervin, Sally Firmin, Nancy Harrison, Carolyn Hulme, Kathy Hutchison, Paula Lea, Ann May, Julibeth Parrish, and Allison Yanos; and the staff of Armstrong Browning for helping us host such a special event. January 17 kept the momentum going when Kellie Fischer, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for the Texas Rangers baseball organization captivated a full audience of Round Table members, their guests, and additional faculty, staff, and students in Kayser Auditorium of the Hankamer School of Business.
