Dear MSCI Texas Chapter Members –

Start 2019 off right with an exciting Inside/Outside Sales Dinner Meeting on January 30 in Houston.  New location – Saint Arnold’s Brewery!  Special Guest Speaker – former Houston Astro Geoff Blum!  Great networking and camaraderie with customers and suppliers!

Join us from 6:00 – 7:00 pm for a cash bar reception at the Brewery, and then we will walk across the street to the Beer Hall for dinner, including a complimentary (free!) selection of beer from 7:00 – 9:00 pm, and hear Geoff Blum from the Houston Astros speak on leadership and being a team player.

About our Speaker

Geoff Blum, who retired after 14 Major League seasons as an infielder (1999-2012), made the transition from the playing field to the broadcast booth in 2013. He returned to the TV broadcast booth in 2016 as color analyst alongside Alan Ashby and Bill Brown.

During his playing career, Blum played two stints with the Astros, totaling five seasons in Houston (2002-03, 2008-10). A switch-hitter, Blum was known as one of the top pinch hitters and utility players in the game, appearing at all four infield positions for nine straight seasons (2000-08). He appeared in the postseason on three occasions (2005-06, 2011). In 2005, Blum hit a go-ahead solo home run in the 14th inning in Game 3 of the World Series to become the 30th player to homer in his first World Series at-bat.

See you at Saint Arnold’s,

Steve Mize

President, MSCI Texas Chapter
