The first meeting of 2003 for the Texas branch of the Globetrotters
Club had 8 new people in attendance. What a way to start the new year
off! It was especially exciting as it was a cold and rainy day, not what
Texans are accustomed to.
The scheduled presenter was unable to attend, which meant lots of time
for travel talk and networking. The time was very well spent. The 10 “regulars”
and the 8 “newbies” all had a swell time sharing stories and
getting to know each other.
Saturday February 8th, 2003, 2pm-4pm
PLEASE NOTE DIFFERENT LOCATION
We will meet at the VFW Hall on Peace Street instead of the library
on Common St.
The hall is across from the entrance to Cypress Bend Park where the April
2002 picnic was held.
Peace Street is between the library and the river off Common St. Turn
on Peace Street – the Fairgrounds are across the street so you can only
turn one way. There is a sign for the VFW hall on the corner. Go to the
dead end (cemeteries on both sides) and turn right into the parking lot
for the VFW hall. Any Questions please feel free to call: 830-620-5482
We are excited to welcome this month’s speaker, Norman Ford. The
founder of the Globetrotters Club and an avid cyclist and will present
slides from one of his bike trips. Plans for the Copper Canyon trip will
also be discussed.
Enjoy Handouts, free stuff, informative speakers, useful demonstrations,
travel talk time, slide shows of exotic locales, and door prizes!
As always, the meeting will begin promptly at 2:00 p.m.
Mark your calendars – Dates of future meetings: March 8th,
April 12th,
The VFW folks will open their bar so we will not go to the Hoity Toit
after the meeting. If you like, bring some nibbles to share for conversation
time following the meeting – since we will miss the peanuts from the Toit.
See you Sat. Feb. 8 at 2 p.m.
