March Meeting – Nina Hendee
VRW will celebrate Texas Independence Day and the Battle of San Jacinto at our March meeting. Mrs. Nina Hendee, commissioned Admiral in the historical Texas Navy will share stories about the heroes of Texas liberty and the spirit and sacrifices made to free Texas from tyranny.
Nina and her husband, Edd, own and operate the Taste of Texas Restaurant, one of the top 100 restaurants in the U.S. Mrs. Hendee started her speaking career with area school children, sharing her love of Texas and its rich history. Approximately 13,000 Houston area students look forward to the Taste of Texas field trip each school year where they hear great tales of our Texas forefathers, tour the restaurant, and enjoy a lunch, compliments of the owners.
An active member of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo’s Speakers Committee, Nina has won the coveted “Mega-Mouth” and was named Speaker of the Year 2015. She has been involved with HLSR for over 25 years.
While staying very active in politics, the restaurant business, numerous charities and Second Baptist Church of Houston, Nina and her husband Edd find their greatest joy in their children and grandchildren.
