SPRING CHEMINOT IN KILLEEN WEEKS AWAY! HAVE YOU REGISTERED OR SENT IN AN AD?
The MARCH 1, 2023, cutoff for advanced registration and ads is almost here! Is your Voiture sending a representative or sending in an ad? Several will be making the trip along with Grand Chef Folmar and Grand Correspondant Keagle from El Paso. If it is not too far for them – are you up for the challenge? Grand Directeurs and at least 1 representative from each locale should attend.
Mike Tiberia is Locale Chef de Gare for Voiture 1031 who is hosting this year’s Spring Cheminot. The event begins on St. Patrick’s Day - Friday, March 17th with a Schnitzel Dinner at VFW Post 3892. The dinner is $10 per plate – pay as you go. Lodging and hospitality room are at the Shilo Inns Killeen. See registration forms enclosed for more information.
NEW PROGRAM ACTIVITIES AROUND TEXAS!
Flags for 1st Graders: El Paso Voiture 605 continues their exceptional work in the Flags for 1st Graders Program setting an example for others to follow. Bell County Voiture 1031 jumped into that arena and covering 10 schools and over 1,200 students! Congratulations and thank you for your hard work.
Nurses Training: Most of our Locales support the Nurses Training Program, but few report their activities! Need money? Funds are also available from Grand for Locales who would like to give a scholarship grant to more students than their budget allows. Karen Ward of V542 in San Antonio will be working on their program and the Annual Pancake Breakfast in San Antonio will start back up! Looking forward to it!
VAVS: Does your Locale support a local VA Clinic or VA Hospital. Some Locales have volunteers at their local VA Clinic or Hospital. Others visit or help with Bingo. Another idea to help was suggested as a continuing need for the VA – small personal hygiene kits! I passed the word on to Voiture 542 Locale Chef de Gare J. Sean Habina only to find out she already had 100 kits done and ready to donate in their area! These are the things we need to get photos of and hear about!
