BAM Hurricane Harvey Relief Efforts
Sep 26, 2017
Jon may be a new member to BAM, but he is anything but new to the title of Rotarian. Jon, was an orthopedic surgeon in Rockport, Texas for many years. There, he was an active member in Rockport's Rotary club. Though, he retired and relocated to Burleson, he still has many relationships in the Rockport area. After Hurricane Harvey devastated the Texas coast he reached out to many of his patients he knew to still be in the Rockport area, asking for ways he could help them. He became a Rotarian in action as he approached our club for donations or their time in his efforts to help the community he served, just one more time. He will take this time to share with the club how we helped with the Hurricane Harvey Relief Efforts on the weekend of September 1, 2017. |

Russell Farm Art Center
Oct 24, 2017
The Russell Farm Art Center is a rustic and very picturesque slice of Texas. The Center is located on a gentle hillside surrounded by beautifully landscaped terrain. The original farmhouse, along with its barns and other restored farm buildings are all nestled within stands of native Texas Oaks and Mesquites. Surrounded by a variety of livestock and wildlife, the Center provides the perfect environment for the contemplative or creative thought mutual to fine art. The farm has been passed down through the family over the years. Martha Glenn Russell started the farm in 1877. She and her husband, Dr. Robert Russell, moved to Marystown community, Johnson County in 1874 where he built a country store and practiced medicine. Two years later he passed away. The Russell Farm was entered in the Texas Family Land Heritage Program in 1977 by Martha Russell’s grandson, Russell Lace. This program honors family farms that have been in continuous operation for at least a hundred years. In order to maintain this family connection, Martha and Russell Lace chose their nephew, Charlie Boren, to keep the heritage alive. Charlie, along with his wife Louise moved to the farm in 1979. Just as Marta Glenn Russell had opened her land to newcomers looking for a place to work and raise a family, Charlie and Louise continue in similar tradition with the foundation of the Russell Farm Art Center. The Russell Farm Art Center is a place for artists, students and art lovers to share and expand their knowledge of art. Surrounded by the beauty and the history of the farm, all are invited to tour the galleries, attend seminars, and participate in workshops. |
