I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love
will have the final word in reality.
This is why right, temporarily defeated,
is stronger than evil triumphant.

Baseball and the American Experience
Registration is Required
CLICK HERE to register
Baseball is deeply woven into U.S. culture, history, and identity. It is a national pastime that provided opportunities for immigrants, mirrored civil rights and social change, developed community identity, and reflected American values.
The lead presenter, Dr. Oren Renick, has presented several papers at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York, including a paper about "Tex" Hughson, father of San Marcos Mayor Jane Hughson.
According to Renick, “There are times when baseball, a very conservative, traditional game will step out and either be a leader in society and American culture or parallel what’s going on, things like labor management and strikes.” (Jan. 16, San Marcos Daily Record; CLICK HERE for the terrific article about the course... and baseball history in San Marcos.)
Join us beginning on Tuesday, Jan. 20, at 10:00am for the first class of a six-week course on America's Pastime. The first class will be at the Dunbar Rec Center on MLK Dr.; the remaining sessions will be at the San Marcos Activity Center.

Presenter: Jason is a Financial Advisor with Edward Jones in San Marcos. He and his family continue to be thankful for their decision to move here 17 years ago from The Woodlands, north of Houston. They have built lasting friendships in the San Marcos and Wimberley areas and continue to establish new relationships personally and professionally. Jason and his wife have two children and will enter their next chapter, becoming empty nesters in a couple of years.
Like Edward Jones, Jason believes that the financial success of clients is realized by getting to know them, understanding their goals, and developing individualized strategies to help clients reach those goals. One important strategy for success is to outsmart scammers!
