Note

Just a note to show you all our "privacy" fence
The word is it was mandatory to put up. We had 11 for a game of "tic" last night Mexican Train tonite, may be hard to find enough players. Ken and Sue got the donuts last Friday. Not much else going on, some of the palms were trimmed last week. The park looks nice

Saturday, May 4, 2024

Yesterday I furnished donuts and made coffee, we had about 14-16 , last week Jack & Donna Haney furnished them. New folks that bought Pat and Bills mobile were there. Kay and David. I hope you all don't think we are getting rain and storms down here. We have not had any rain at all. North of here they really got some bad weather, tornados and rain, and N. of Houston terrible flooding. We are having lows in the 70's and highs over 90 every day and of course the wind has never stopped!!! I had the dog out this morning and noticed how nice the Park looks. Even the 99"s are mowed so nice and everywhere looks great. but need rain so bad or our nice green yards are going to start getting brown We have been playing tic Mon. Wed. and Fri. nights we had 2 tables last night But soon Sharon and Paul will be leaving and several others for the Summer. But I am sure we will be able to get a table up most nights I don't think we will do a photo album next Fall. We just did one for 22-23

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
