Many of the Garland ELKS LODGE #1984 knew Phil Kelley. It is with sad thoughts that I announce that Phil Kelley passed away yesterday. He fought cancer for the last year and finally lost. No details on the arrangements are available yet.
From Chunkie Harwell:
April 17th will be here before you know it.
Met with Parks Department, EMS, Fire Marshall, Police Department today.
We are good to go, make sure all fire extinguishers are charged.
Please leave a twenty foot wide access area off the main road.
At the south end where we park they have just installed a 20" water line cutting through the back of the parking area. The Parks folks have asked us not to park RV's on top of this area. You will be able to see it, there is no grass there and it is a wide area. If we were to get the rain we had last year it would really be a mess.
The Parks folks have also asked that you do not arrive on WEDNESDAY. They are still setting electrical, moving table etc. So please do not show up Wednesday.
Looking forward to a great time again this year.
From Joann Scott:
Guy Bates became ill at Texas Men's State. He was taken by ambulance to the hospital in Fredricksburg. He has pneumonia and will probably be hospitalized for about 3 days. Thanks to those who helped Shirley. They have parked the MotorHome at the hospital and she has electricity.
