Big Brothers Big Sisters
Mentoring Program
The RRA Outreach Committee is in the planning phases for
its third year of a program with Big Brothers Big Sisters. We
recently completed our second successful year in teaming
with Anson Jones Middle School to pair students with oneon-one mentoring here at SwRI. The students are bused to
SwRI once per month for meetings (lunch is provided) over
a one-hour period. “Bigs” are also encouraged to visit their
“Little” occasionally during lunch at school. We started with
a sixth-grade class and followed them into seventh grade.
We will resume with them in the fall. We are looking for
interested new “Bigs.” If you are interested, please contact
Shane Siebenaler at shane.siebenaler@swri.org.
San Antonio Food Bank: September 11
Join SwRI family, friends, and children at least 8 years of age, on September 11, from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM to volunteer
at the San Antonio Food Bank. There are over 38 million people in the San Antonio area that are without food that need
your help. The Food Bank is located off of Hwy 151/Hwy 90. Contact Shane Siebenaler at x5758 or shane.siebenaler@
swri.org for additional details.
Southwest Mobile Banking
Slick Talkers Toastmasters Club
We are excited to introduce Southwest Mobile Banking. Now you
have a safe and convenient way to access your SwRCFCU account
directly from your mobile phone anytime, anywhere.
Now whether you’re out of town, at work, or at home, you can rest
easily knowing that your account information is always with you. This service is free and requires you to be enrolled in Southwest
Online Banking to check account balances, view account history
or transfer money between accounts.
Visit our website at www.swrcfcu.com to watch a short video or
call a Member Services Representative for more information at

Where else can you learn how to deliver a joke, think on your
feet, and give feedback, all while making new friends and having
a good time? Each Slick Talkers Toastmasters meeting has all
these components. Members progress at their own pace, adding
to skills and confidence along the way. And the meetings are fun!
Join us. We meet every time-sheet Friday, from 11:30-12:30, in
the first floor conference room of Bldg. 77. Call Laura Vela, x2736,
or Alana Woods, x3760, for more information.
Weight Watchers at Work
September is National Preparedness Month
On the website www.ready.gov you can find many resources and
suggestions to help you and your family become better prepared
for disasters and emergencies.
BE INFORMED: learn how to receive emergency alerts, know the
hazards, prepare the appropriate shelter, having a ham radio or
FRS radio and knowing how to use it can help provide valuable
information before, during and after a widespread emergency.
The Weight Watchers (WW) group
has lost 237.4 lbs. this year. The
weekly meetings are held every
Thursday at 11:00 AM for weighins and 11:15 AM to discuss
different topics which promote
better nutritional habits and a healthier lifestyle. Weight Watcher
Lifetime members are welcome to attend with the appropriate
WW identification. This is a monthly pass group and there are
no end dates provided we have enough members. Membership
includes free eTools. Registration is available to all employees
at any time. Nonemployees are welcome to join too, but without
subsidy. SwRI pays 25% of the cost for SwRI employees! Want
to join Weight Watchers on our campus, please call or e‑mail
Linda Estes at x5664 or lestes@swri.org for more information.
MAKE A PLAN: review the PDF Family Emergency Plan, be aware
of supplies needed to care for infants, young children, elderly
and your pets
BUILD A KIT: compare the materials you already have at home
with the list of the Basic Disaster Supplies Kit, do you have
adequate water available? a manual can opener? Tools to turn
off utilities? Do you have supplies to purify water if necessary?
GET INVOLVED: you can be better prepared by learning from
local specialists, such as the volunteer instructors that conduct
Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) classes.
This training can be used right in your own neighborhood if it
experiences a disaster.
NEW: Greeting Cards
Forget your Anniversary and need a card before you go home?
We’ve got you covered! Need a card for baby shower, wedding
shower, or birthday coming up? We’ve got you covered! The RRA
store has just received new selection of greeting cards from
Marian Heath Collection. Stop by today. The RRA Store is located
within the SwRI Fitness Center.
Your choices of action and education can play a big role in the
outcome you experience in destructive events such as tornadoes,
hurricanes, wildfires, floods or terroristic attacks. Don’t wait until
you see smoke before you decide to buy a fire extinguisher, be
prepared!
Balloons: Where are the Balloons?
Information shared by the RRA Amateur Radio Club.
The RRA store has adjusted their balloon service. Now special
occasion Mylar balloons will be pre-ordered up to four days in
advance of the special day. These balloons will then be delivered

Peter and the Starcatcher - Majestic Theatre
October 22-27, 2013, Majestic Theater
Peter and the Starcatcher provides a humorous and fantastical
backstory for the beloved character of Peter Pan and his archnemesis Captain Hook. In this wickedly imaginative play, we
meet a poor orphaned child on the high seas simply called Boy
because, in the absence of a mother and a father, he was never
given a name. His sad and lonely world is turned upside down
when he meets Molly. The daughter of famous Starcatcher Lord
Astor, our heroine is on a mission to save the world and protect
a treasure trunk filled with magical star stuff from getting into
the hands of evil and greedy pirate Black Stache. As they travel
aboard the Neverland ship headed for a faraway land, Molly and
Boy learn about love, friendship and forge an unbreakable bond.
All movie passes can be purchased at the SwRI Fitness Center.

Is Peter and the Starcatcher for Kids?
Peter and the Starcatcher is perfect for kids ages 10 and up (no
children under four will be admitted). While the play does include
some pop culture references and sophisticated dialogue that
might fly over the heads of very young children, the coming-of
age-tale explores first loves, first kisses and the secret desire we
all have to stay young forever.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas
December 26-29, 2013, Majestic Theater
Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical is the
record breaking Broadway holiday sensation which features hit
songs “You’re A Mean One Mr. Grinch” and “Welcome Christmas”
(written by Albert Hague and Dr. Seuss) from the original animated
series. Max the Dog narrates as the mean and scheming Grinch,
whose heart is “two sizes too small,” decides to steal Christmas
away from the Holiday loving Whos. Magnificent sets (John Lee
Beatty) and costumes (Robert Morgan) inspired by Dr. Seuss’
original illustrations help transport audiences to the whimsical
world of Whoville, while the Music and Book of Mel Marvin and
Timothy Mason breathe new life into this timeless story of the
true meaning of Christmas. The 2012 production is directed by
Matt August and choreographed by Bob Richard based on the
original choreography by John DeLuca and originally created by
3-time Tony Award® winning director, Jack O’Brien.
