The Clear Lake Area Chapter hosted a summer social and pool party at the home of Anita Gale on Saturday, July 8, 2017. It was a great success! We had a total of sixteen attending, including several guests…two of the guests elected to join NSS that same night! We welcome Mr. Ray Tussing and Mr. John Moffitt, our newest members! The menu included hamburgers and hot dogs prepared by our grillmasters Michael Molenaar and John Moffitt as well as boiled shrimp with all the fixings cooked by Lupe Gonzales, one of Anita’s co-workers at Boeing.

The Clear Lake Area Chapter will hold regular meetings at 7:30 pm on the third Mondays of August and October. Our next planned social event is a movie night to be held on a Saturday some time in November.

The Clear Lake Area Chapter started off the August Legislative Blitz a month early, as three Chapter representatives met with Congressman Gene Green (D, TX-29) in one of his local Houston offices on July 21st. Present were Eric Bowen, chapter president and constituent of Congressman Green as well as Douglas Hall, the chapter’s vice president and David Cheuvront, member of the NSS policy committee. The meeting was friendly and engaging, and the Congressman indicated interest and receptivity to the proposals from the Alliance for Space Development.

If you have not yet done so, we encourage you to take the first step of reaching out to and meeting with your own representative by signing up for the August Blitz at https://tinyurl.com/2017AugustBlitzSignup. The next regular meeting for the Clear Lake Area chapter will be held at the Bay Area Community Center in Clear Lake Park on Monday evening, August 21st at 7:00 p.m. Everyone is welcome!
