Hello, all;
WALLACE KEMP
The Texas tour in Beaumont, was a lot of fun and good food. Eleven of us were able
to make the trip. Julia had some trouble with her truck on the way there and she had
to rent a truck in Jacksonville. All of her children were at the tour to spend the week
end with her. I think all had a good time. There was a lot of laughing and ribbing at
our table at each meal. Lou was a big winner at the raffle drawing on Saturday night.
She won a set of 1931 license plates,valued at 300.00 dollars. Walt provide a model A
cut out of steel for the auction, It was a big money maker. Each night was different
and a lot of fun.
On the 16th, 19 of us met for breakfast at the Down Home Cafe in Canton. After
breakfast a group of us traveled to Edom to pick blue berries and black berries, and
yes we did get rained on.
th
Thursday night the 18 there was a good turn out for cruise night even though it
rained again.
Wishing everyone a great and safe 4th of July.
See you all on the 7th of July for our ice cream social meeting at the DQ. We will have
a short Meeting.
See you there.

Tuesday Breakfast
Down Home Cafe
Canton, TX
16 June 2015
What can you say? Good food, good
friends, good conversations.
Nineteen folks met at the Down Home Cafe
in Canton for breakfast. After, several of us
traveled on into Edom where we visited
Blueberry Hill and picked blueberries and
black berries. Yes, it was wet. But it never
really RAINED, more of a heavy mist and
drizzle. That still soaked you to the skin!
Blueberry cobbler, blueberry pancakes,
blueberry coffee cake, …. Oh, my!

President Jody Letchworth called the meeting to order at 5:30pm.
Jody welcomed everyone including guests, Gerald and Emma Phariss, and led the pledge to the flag.
She asked if everyone had read the minutes published in the newsletter. Bill Capps made the motion to
accept the minutes and Julia Waterman seconded the motion.
Sue Capps gave the financial report. Bill Capps made the motion to accept, Wallace Kemp seconded.
Sunshine Report. Jody gave an update on her niece, Sharon Wagner.
Birthdays present were Virginia Hellebrand and Bill Lee. We sang "Happy Birthday" to them.
Old Business. IMAD September 19, 2015. We received a note from the Winnsboro club with suggestions
made by them, sent by Pat Neighbors. Bill Capps made the suggestion that we try to attend the Ben
Wheeler meeting to see just what they will be providing that day. Bill Lee made a flyer he passed around for
us to see. We discussed patches, but nothing was finalized...we still do not know the number who plan to
attend to order to order patches.
New Business..Harris Lege suggested that the club have another club dinner and serve ribeye steak. The
board will discuss the idea of a club dinner further.
Bill Lee said we have not discussed the July ice cream social. Since no one had volunteered their home for
the ice cream social, it was suggested by Shirley that we have it at the DQ. President Jody suggested that
we just have the ice cream social at the July meeting, July 7th. All seemed in favor...we will have our
meeting, eat as usual and have ice cream.
Texas Tour was discussed....Six families plan to attend.
Upcoming Events. Cruise night June 18.
Eustace Pioneer Day and parade. Sat. June 20.

Texas Tour 2015
Beaumont, TX
June 11-14, 2015
Early June found six of our club's families
attending Texas Tour in Beaumont. The Tour
this year was well organized, and well
attended. Each evening saw a catered dinner in
the ballroom at the hotel, and the food served
was the best I can remember. Certainly it
wasn't your typical airline meal!
The Tour on Saturday was to Sour Lake, the
origins of the oil industry in Texas.

As I age I realize that:
I don't need anger management. I need people to stop pi--ing me off.
My people skills are just fine. It's my tolerance of idiots that needs work.
The biggest lie I tell myself is, "I don't need to write that down. I'll remember it."
I talk to myself because, sometimes, I need expert advice.
Sometimes I roll my eyes out loud.
When I was a child, I thought nap time was punishment. Now, it's like a mini
vacation.
Even duct tape can't fix stupid, but it can muffle the sound!
Wouldn't it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten minutes and then
come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller?
If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would've put them on my knees.
