NOTE: We will be having our  Monday, June 13 meeting at Carter Collin's 'Turner's
Grocery Store' in Milano at 10:00 a.m.  I am attaching the agenda and you'll
find directions to Carter's in the information below.  This meeting will be a
luncheon meeting!  Carter and Ann have graciously offered to provide
sandwiches, drinks and chips, the rest of us will bring side dishes and
desserts.  We had a great time two  years ago when we met at Carter and Ann's so
I hope everyone will be able to make the June meeting.  You might want to bring
a folding chair and remember to dress cool and casual for outdoor
meeting/dining!

Directions to Carter Collins' "Turner's Grocery Store"

From Rockdale: at Milano you will take the second light and turn right to Hwy
36.(towards Caldwell);

From Cameron: at Milano take the first light to the left..at second light turn
right to Hwy 36.(towards Caldwell)

From Gause: at Milano take the first light to the  left to HY 36.(towards Caldwell)

From this intersection go exactly 4.3 miles to a private drive. Direction arrows
will be on the property to parking areas near "Turners Grocery Store". Sign will
be placed at the drive. I will attach ribbons or balloons.

Sandwiches,drinks and chips provided. Ann promised to make her famous cucumber
sandwiches with the crust cut off - others also available for those that do not
like cucumbers.Fresh lemonade along with soft drinks and water. Side dishes
suitable  for sandwiches and dessert by others.

Outside seating in the shade. If raining we can squeeze inside or if too hot
air conditioning will be on inside; Toilet inside; I think I will have enough
seats but if anyone wants to bring folding chairs just in case it would be a
good idea. Anything that needs to be kept cool the refrigerator works well.

Home phone 512-455-2680..cell phone 512-760-7142 (but does not work everywhere).

Looking forward to everyone who can come. Just remind everyone that dress is
casual for outside heat.
