texas cotton’s story
our story
Our story began in Galveston. The original call for an organizational meeting was held in Waco, Texas, on
February 3, 1911, in which a resolution was adopted stating the desire that an organization be established for the cotton
trade in Texas, among representatives of Dallas, Fort Worth, Paris and Waco. On February 16, 1911, the committee
selected to secure the charter met in the lobby bar of the Hotel Galvez, just prior to its grand opening, to draft our Articles
of Incorporation and to discuss trading rules to be adopted. The eight members of the committee were: Anderson
Clayton & Co., Crespi & Co., Evans & Co., W.D. Felder & Co., J.L. Goldman & Co., H. Kempner, Geo. H. McFadden
& Bro., and P.G. Pauls & Co. The following day, on February 17, 1911, a final meeting in Waco, Texas, resulted in the
permanent organization of The Texas Cotton Association. The organization committee applied to the State of Texas for
the charter issued March 20, 1911. The first convention of The Texas Cotton Association was held at the Hotel Galvez
on March 23, 1912, with W.C. Lawson presiding. Exactly one hundred years ago on March 15 & 16, 1918, members of
The Texas Cotton Association met at the Hotel Galvez, with President Joseph W. Evans presiding. On March 20, 1982,
Eduardo Esteve presiding over the 71st convention of members stated in his annual address, “We regard Galveston as
a homecoming for our members.”

your invitation to attend
“TEXAS COTTON’S STORY”, will be held on April 25,
26 & 27, 2018, at the HOTEL Galvez & Spa, located at,
2024 Seawall Blvd., Galveston, Texas, 77550.
Our agenda will follow the usual three day schedule
opening with the 2018 Golf Scramble on Wednesday, April
25, 2018, to be held at the Moody Gardens Golf Course
in Galveston, the premier public seaside course with lush
fairways lined with palms and shorebird habitat.
Later that night, during the Welcome to Galveston
Reception, attendees will sense the presence of spirits on
a special guided Ghost Tour of the historic and haunted
Hotel Galvez, which will occur at every thirty minute
interval, limited to groups of twenty, starting at 6:30 until 9 p.m. Carry your own “spirit” or beverage of choice on
the tour as you learn about the ghosts that live at the Hotel Galvez. If you do not believe in ghosts, then be forewarned,
and enjoy the reception.
On Thursday morning, April 26, a networking breakfast lounge will be provided for attendees prior to and during the
committee meeting breaks.
Following policy meetings, we are excited to offer one of the two following planned activities! The first optional
activity includes a four hour bay and jetty fishing tournament and excursion which will leave the entrance of the hotel
by chartered bus to the pier to board the Cavalier catamaran. The boat will travel about 8 miles (approximately thirty
minutes out) into the Galveston Ship Channel. The second
optional activity will include a chartered bus which will also
depart the hotel entrance for a Historic Tour of Galveston
featuring the Moody Mansion and Bishop’s Palace. You may
prefer to spend the afternoon on your own in the hotel spa
or hop aboard the courtesy shuttle to The Strand Historic
District and Pier 21, or you may want to take a courtesy
bicycle and chart your own tour of Galveston. Be sure to
stop by the TCA registration desk to obtain discount tickets
to many attractions on the island offered to our group by
the Galveston Convention and Visitors Bureau.
The Transportation Reception will begin at 6:30 p.m.,
followed by the President’s seated dinner from 7:30-10:30 p.m., featuring the ZIGGYBAND! TIME TO PARTY and
dance the night away with this top five-star, eight-piece performing band from Houston, recognized for winning

several awards on “the knot” and most noted for being
one of Texas’ best and most sought after dance bands!
We are excited to announce that they will be our
featured entertainment at the President’s dinner party
on Thursday night.
On Friday morning, April 27, 2018, we will convene the
General Session in a seated breakfast that you will certainly
not want to miss! In addition to hearing from Texas and
ACSA cotton leadership, our keynote, Jimmy Wayne from
Nashville, Tn., an award-winning country recording artist
whose songs and story highlight his mission to raise
awareness for children in foster care, will provide attendees
with a most exceptional and entertaining performance. He has toured with Brad Paisley and recorded Sara Smile with
the rock ‘n roll Hall of Fame duo Daryl Hall and John Oats. He has performed at the Grand Ole Opry over 215 times.
He has walked halfway across America to raise awareness for kids aging out of foster care and was successful in
getting legislation passed to extend the age of foster in certain states. He has written a New York Times bestselling
memoir which has exceeded over 100,000 print sales. He lives in Nashville and continues to work tirelessly on behalf
of at-risk foster youth by performing, writing books, and
speaking. When making your airline reservations for travel
home, please make your plans to leave the island after we
adjourn the General Session. If you are a voting merchant
member or primary buyer, we will meet immediately following,
the Executive Session to consider proposed convention
policy resolutions. In order to conduct the business of this
association and adopt resolutions proposed, we need a
quorum. Please make your flight arrangements home in
accordance. The new board of directors will briefly meet
following the convention. Members of the new board of
directors are also requested to make arrangements for
travel home after the new board meeting is adjourned. We expect to conclude the General Session by noon and the
Executive Session by 1:30 p.m. Remember room rates are good three days before and after the convention based on
availability, so come early, stay and play!
We hope that you will come to Galveston to be a part of a storybook of members that have established and
maintained vigorous markets for U.S. cotton. For us, we have the opportunity to renew our cotton heritage and in
April, 2018, it should feel like coming home.
Keep Calm and Cotton On!

industry cohesiveness and growth that may not otherwise exist. Participation in the annual meeting fund by members
and other interested parties is important, because it indicates the depth and breadth of confidence by those closest to
the association and our Texas cotton industry. Every donor and every gift is vital to maintaining the ongoing strength
of The Texas Cotton Association, year after year. Simply contribute to the Texas Cotton Club and be a part of TEXAS
COTTON’S STORY! Your contribution will entitle you to enjoy extra membership benefits during this meeting and be
