Things are coming together for "HOWDY-ROO." The goody bags are here, our sponsors are coming through, local Pod members been running around getting sponsors busy doing stuff and Ruby is busy making deposits. She called last night and said she may have to order more raffle tickets, the charities are selling them as fast as she hands them out. That is A GOOD THING!
Received word this morning of the passing of Roger Stout. Please keep Bernie Stout and the Stout family in your thoughts and prayers as this most difficult time as well as Ken and Yollie Rodd for the passing of Yollie's mom. Also...please remember Terry Tenery in your thoughts and prayers. Understand she is at home now...give her a call or send her a word of CHEER!
Good Luck to all The Ladies this weekend at Texas Ladies State!
SEE YOU IN SEGUINE!

NOTE: At the Board of Director's Winter Meeting, we voted to procure 20 table and 100 chairs to be placed at Krazy Flats for the BBQ judging and other events, if needed. We have been moving tables from the Judging Area to Krazy Flats and back. This is not only a hard job, but is putting extra wear and tear on our tables that we currently store and use in the Main Area of the Ranch. We have received our quotes and so now we are inviting any pod, group of people, or individual donation toward this purchase. If you are interested in this donation, tables will be $100.00 and a set of 4 chairs will be $50.00. Please send these donations to David Sexton, Treasurer. His address is PO Box 720387, Dallas TX 75206
From Connie Collier and Karen Bains:
