To All Old 320 Members –
Time is drawing close for our yearly departure to the Ranch. I would like to touch base with each of you on a couple of matters as follows:
· If you will not be using your Cooking Site in the Old 320 Area, and willing to let someone else cook on it, please let me know. OR, if you have given someone permission to use your Site, I need to know either way. We have a lot of new qualified Cooks that are coming to Terlingua and they would like to cook in the Old 320 Area.
· ALSO, All Pods that have an Old 320 Site, I need to know who the POD MEMBER is that is cooking on the Pod’s Site.
· We are still taking Orders from Pods for The Wall Plaque. The cost of the Plaque is $200.00 and it dresses up the Wall to the North side of the Old 320 Area. I will have forms available at the Great Peppers Meeting; if you want, you can call me and I will mail you one.
Thank you all, may everyone have a safe trip to the Ranch, can’t wait to see you.
