Galveston Wharves Establishes Endowment for Maritime Scholarships
at Texas A&M University at Galveston

The Post Newspaper Features Editor
The Galveston Wharves is investing in the future of the maritime industry by establishing an endowment for scholarships at Texas A&M University at Galveston. Created with funding from Port of Galveston bicentennial sponsors, the endowment of more than $300,000 will support students pursuing degrees in maritime and marine-related fields.
Rodger Rees, Galveston Wharves port director and CEO, said, “As one of the Gulf Coast’s leading deepwater ports, the Port of Galveston depends on a strong pipeline of skilled professionals to sustain and grow our maritime economy. This endowment reflects our commitment to helping the next generation of mariners, administrators, engineers, and logistics experts gain the education and training they need to lead this critical industry.”
Scholarships totaling $3,000 each will be awarded annually to four undergraduates pursuing degrees in Maritime Business Administration, Marine Transportation or Marine Engineering Technology beginning in fall 2026. Preference will be given to students from Galveston County.
Texas A&M University at Galveston, a maritime-focused campus of the Texas A&M University System, educates future leaders in fields including marine transportation, maritime business, ocean engineering, and environmental science. The new endowment will provide financial support for students who demonstrate academic achievement and a commitment to maritime careers.
“Partnerships like this are vital to the success of our students and the maritime industry as a whole,” said Col. Michael E. Fossum ’80 (Ret.) USAFR, vice president of Texas A&M University, chief operating officer of Texas A&M University at Galveston. “We are grateful to the Galveston Wharves for investing in our students and strengthening the connection between education and industry.”
Vic Pierson, chairman of the Galveston Wharves Board of Trustees, added, “We’re extremely grateful to the dozens of port partners who contributed to the port’s bicentennial fund to sponsor our 200th anniversary celebration, with proceeds going to establish this lasting endowment. It’s a legacy that they can be truly proud of.”
Rees said, “The Port of Galveston has been part of this community for 200 years. Supporting maritime education ensures that our industry continues to thrive for the next 200.”

Houston Celebrates Inaugural ASEAN Fall Festival
By Ruth Ann Ruiz
The Post Newspaper Features Editor
Houston held its first ASEAN fall festival last Saturday, hosted by the Consulate of Indonesia. Congressman Al Green of Texas 9th district attended the festival and presented proclamations to the three consul generals representing the three ASEAN nations: Ourina Ritonga of Indonesia, Gunther Emil M. Sales of the Philippines, and Hoang Thuy Duong of Vietnam.
Multiple food booths encircled what is normally the consulate's parking lot, where the aroma of spices and cooking oil tempted visitors to try egg rolls, pork ribs, chicken, rice, and other culinary options. Dancers in vibrant colors, along with traditional music from the three nations represented and a few American tunes, captivated the audience.
"In America we celebrate unity but not uniformity," said Green as he complimented the festival and expressed his wish to see next year's festival attract more nations from the ASEAN association.
Ritonga and other attendees agreed they too would like to see next year's festival expanded with more ASEAN nations represented.

Faith Organizations United in Serving

By: Pastor Jervie Windom

We're excited to share some upcoming initiatives at Resonate Church. We're partnering with Good Samaritan Food Pantry in LaMarque to collect donations and support our community.

In addition, we're collaborating with LMPD Chaplain Care Team members to host a worship night at Family Unity Church, where all proceeds and collected food items will benefit the food pantry. We believe that by joining forces, we can make a greater impact and serve those in need more effectively.

Furthermore, we've been reaching out to our elderly and single parents in the community to offer assistance and address their specific needs during these challenging times.

the museum’s 30,000 square feet filled with local & Texas history.
A few of the exhibits at the museum include 1947 Texas City Disaster films, photographs and

U.S.S. Westfield; a history of the First Aero Squadron and the beginning of the US Airforce; a tribute

Plus, there's a Children's Discovery Room, a display of Texas City Schools and memorabilia from
them, and a history of industry and development.
And as a special bonus, the second floor of the museum will also be open. It's full of model trains
and elaborate scenes, where guests of all ages can delight in watching things speed by, fly by and
whirl around.
One of the museum’s most beloved traditions, the Quilt Exhibition, is also taking place during the
event. Guests can see intricate, handmade quilts that feature everything from flowers to Yoda!
They can also cast their vote for their favorites, helping to name the winners at the end of the
month.
“Adaptive recreation is all about creating programs and activities that are inclusive for everyone,
including individuals with disabilities,” said Recreation & Tourism Director Nicole Miller. “We want

Final “Movement Is Medicine” Event Invites Residents on 9.7-Mile
Community Bike Ride
TEXAS CITY, TX – Mayor Dedrick Johnson is encouraging the community to keep pedaling to a
healthier future, inviting residents to join him for a 9.7-mile community bike ride, the final event in
the mayor’s Movement is Medicine initiative.
The bike ride will be held this Saturday, Nov. 22, starting at 9 a.m. at Rainbow Park in Texas City.
The route will take participants on a relaxed ride through many different areas of town, ending back
at Rainbow Park.
The total route is 9.7 miles, but a shorter route (about 3.5 miles) is also available. There will also be
a rest stop and short break at the Doyle Convention Center along the way.
Participation in the bike ride is free. Riders must be at least 14 years old, and all minors (17 and
under) must be accompanied by a riding adult. Helmets and reflective/bright clothing are
recommended. Electric bikes are prohibited.
The bike ride also serves as the final event in Mayor Johnson’s 2025 health initiative, “Movement is
Medicine,” which also included events like line dancing, a 3K walk, an indoor fitness day, aquatics
and more.
With benefits like increasing energy levels, improving sleep quality, reducing anxiety and helping to
prevent injury and disease, the impact that movement can have on health is significant.
“Movement is Medicine is an initiative to remind everyone of the benefits of physical activities,”
Mayor Johnson said. “Even minimal exercise helps cardiovascular health, strengthens muscles,
reduces the risk of chronic disease, and reduces stress. A healthy community is a happy
community!”
For more information about Mayor’s Johnson’s Movement is Medicine initiative and this weekend’s
bike ride, visit www.texascitytx.gov.
