Aransas Pass Rotary Introduces New Leadership

Outgoing President of the Aransas Pass Rotary Club, Dean Thomas, who served from 2022-2023, receives a ceremonial gavel from his successor, LaRis (Mia) Rios, whose term as President runs from now through 2024. July marks the beginning of the 2023-2024 Rotary year, so Rios recently presented Thomas with a gavel and plaque acknowledging his service as 2022-2023 President of the Rotary Club of Aransas Pass. He also received a new badge identifying him as the 20222023 Past President of the Club. Mia is the Club’s incoming 2023-2024 President and she was presented a new badge identifying her as such. Dean has been an innovative, hardworking president of the Club and is greatly appreciated. It was amazing how much he was able to accomplish while working full time as the owner of Slowride Guide Services. Mia has been a member of the Club for less than two years and her ideas, energy, and volunteerism led her to becoming the 2023-2024 president. Mia is a personal shopper for HEB and has learned how to balance her work with her many Rotary Club responsibilities. She brings youthful ideas and energy to the Club and is an asset.

Whether it was honey in a jar, fresh vegetables, and fruits like cantaloupe, or perhaps jars of homemade jams at least one Aransas Pass farm owner brought some of her family’s harvest to the Tractor Supply weekend market Saturday, August 19th at 1920 W. Wheeler Ave. Small business entrepreneurs who set up tables included several Ingleside residents, one who offered locally grown chicken and quail eggs, or samplings of home baked breads made from sourdough. Another was selling vegan muffins, and jelly-filled kolaches.
