HomeTown Highlights The Joys of Fall
HomeTown Highlights The Joys of Fall Fall is always my favorite time of year. Several years ago country music star Kenny Chesney recorded “The Boys of Fall,” a song about the excitement of football season in America. Chesney’s song highlighted the competitive aspect of the sport and the many levels involved from grade school to professional. In addition to the song he produced a documentary that includes interviews with football coaches at different levels of from all over the country. For me, the first cool front of the fall season is a welcome event for several reasons. First, the light Community Corner north wind usually means the end of hurricane season along the Gulf Coast of Texas. But more importantly, it ushers in the best of times for many of America’s sports fans knowing that the smell of pigskin is in the air. Everyone who knows me will agree that I am an avid sports fan. I enjoy attending Astros and Texans games, Aggies and Longhorns (my son and daughter are alumni), and I have had my high school’s football season tickets for almost 40 years. I never missed an event when my children were involved, and now try to view my grandkids’ games no matter what the sport. I find great pleasure in watching people compete, no matter what age group or venue. Jimmy Rasmussen Competition is fierce in the banking industry. Our local markets are crowded with mega-banks, regional banks, community banks, tax-exempt credit unions and a number of non-bank financial institutions that complete for both loans and deposits. As all businesses compete for their share of the market, we know that we are going to win a few and lose a few of our battles. Sometimes the score is close, and other times one of our competitors is willing to get out of their comfort zone to win the game. My forty years in the banking business has to taught me that to be successful, you have to have a solid game plan and stick with it, but always be willing to make a tweak or two along the way. Harbourview Care Center’s Administrator Marvena Miner, joined by various residents, stands with HomeTown Bank’s President and CEO Jimmy Rasmussen and League City branch manager and Senior Vice President Bill Provenzano, as she accepts the “Wish Come True” check in association with the Senior Housing Crime Prevention’s Senior Crimestoppers Program. HomeTown Bank has sponsored the program for Harbourview Care Center for two years and the funds will go towards an enrichment program involving music at the facility. As I approach a mid-sixties birthday in November, father time appears to be moving a little faster each year. However, I must admit that this time of year I continue to experience what Chesney sings about: “When I feel that chill, smell that fresh cut grass, I’m back in my helmet, cleats, and shoulder pads. Standing in the huddle, listening to the call, fans go crazy for the boys of fall.” Although it took a while, I now know that putting on the pads and playing again on Friday night is not going to happen. But working with my great team, designing a game plan and competing for our share of the market has never been more exciting.
