Lucy Johnson

We are sorry to hear of Lucy Johnson's passing

 This day started out beautiful. Light breeze and sunny skies. 

We had our first coffee and donuts. The office bought this Friday!

Remember 2 years ago Matts Cash and Carry burned down? Well they are now opening a new one in the same place in Alamo.

Badges

This coming season if you want a new badge with your name enscribed on it, let me know. You can always use your old one or I will put up a sign up sheet to get badges

You will need to put down your names of course and if you want  a pin on or magnet.

the pin ons are $9.60 and  if you want the magnet ones it's a $1.75 more. I will ask for the total on the magnetic ones including the tax and let you know, looks like it would run $11.25 ? not sure

You can even go to Weslaco Trophys and order the badges yourself. It just takes a couple days to get them.

It is so crazy to have to order our park badges ourselves......like I said before all parks provide them for their people but not here. the first badge I made was in 2020 , so I have been making those for a long time. It's not that I mind but the hard badges with engraved names are very nice, I think!

Steve St.Clairs mobile is now moved out

 

Our Last Club Meeting

 

Our last club meeting was short and sweet. 

We did decide on getting the new engraved badges from Weslaco Trophys. When telling the Mgr. he remarked that the office won"t supply them and to let the "Club" deal with that, Jan's Asst. in the office, Reggie said she's too busy.  Isn't it weird that all the Parks in the Valley supply their people with the name tags? But not our Park. It was so easy to have Weslaco Trophys do our new badges, I just sent them our logo from my computer and emailed it to them. So now they have our logo. And actually if one wanted to they could go over there and order their new badges.

I will make a list of those wanting the new badges and pay me at the time and if they want the pin ons or the magnetic. To round off the cost, the pin ons will be $7.60 and the magnet ones, $9.50. I will go over there when I get a few, it only takes a few days for them to make them.

Alice is supposed to be the new card lady. Her phone no. is 928-240-0296 but if you call me or email me, I can give her a call. Don't hesitate  to let us know of a death or illness or whatever reason someone needs a card.

Weslaco is getting new businesses all the time. I will try to keep on top of that to let you know. One is Texas Roadhouse. 

April 12th will be our Coffee and Donuts get-to-gether. We will take turns supplying the donuts. The first time , the Office supplies them, and the last donut Friday the Office provides them and I am getting a sign up sheet put up right away for those who wish to provide them. It's at 8:00 every Friday morning until late in October.

That's about it for now, will try to keep blogging to let you know what craziness is going on down here while ya'll are gone
