Consular Ladies Brunch
written by Sonia Guimbellot
The Consulate of Spain’s spouse opened their consular residence for the
Consular Ladies Club to meet. The Mayor’s daughter, Houston’s First Daugh-
ter, Ashley Turner joined us along with chief of protocol Mrs. Deanea Leflore,
Mayor’s Office of Trade and International Affairs. They were escorted by a
gentleman that we’ve seen over time serving as the Mayor’s protection divi-
sion. We enjoyed the presentation given by Rice University’s Architecture
Department regarding restorations that began in the 1900’s in this Spanish
Missionary Project lecture~ Geographic location National History Culturally
mixed endeavor of a capacity given by small direction of 4 different trades in a
group directed by a couple of missionaries to the best of ability with military
support of each independent unit. These social political practices bridge the
entirety of American territory.
Food museum in New Orleans I must visit. Even a retired consular wife from
Denmark that had retired 3 yrs. ago made it out to join in. That spoke vol-
umes to me on the capacity this club does together. The wife of a State Dept.
associate we work with joined in as well. The food spread was lovely & the
conversations befitting to the atmosphere.
