1 March 2013 President's Message CLUB OFFICERS President President's Message Hello Members: We are getting a good start this year, we had another great turnout for breakfast at the Athens Cafe, twenty two members attended. Good food, good service and most of all, good fellowship. Sue Capps and Nancy Wittner did a fine job in arranging a tour of the Athens Historical Museum for us. I, as many of you, recognized most of the artifacts and remembered some of the good times and the hard work. I remember the Gauntt building from the sixties and seventies as Mr. Gauntt used to call on us at the "Countryside Grocery" in Payne Springs to sell us groceries and... Mr. Gauntt also delivered the Dallas Times Herald in the Mabank area during those years. Thanks Sue and Nancy, looking forward to driving down the road looking at the daffodils, bluebonnets, painted brush flowers and the overhanging trees once again.

Be sure and get your dues in for as you know the funds are a necessary part of our existence Vice President OLA POWELL Secretary/Treasurer We have several members on the roster that have not attended a meeting in some time for one reason or another.
