I'm good to go. Will we be staging at the church? This will be my first mission, so I'd appreciate any extra info as to what's expected and what I can do to help out. Thanks

Brothers & Sisters,
*Parking will probably be tight so stage on Euclid Avenue as close as practical to Oltorf St. Euclid runs N&S on the West side of the Church. Back in "perp' to the curb to maximize our space.
Thanks!!
RIDE SAFE

*As always, subject to Semper Gumby!

Fifteen stood in respect for Mr. Garcia honoring him for his service to our country. One member of the VFW who was a personal friend of Mr. Garcia asked to stand in the flag line with us prior to the service. We also welcomed a new member, AJ Scout to the team. I'm proud to pass along the words of appreciation from Paul Williamson, Manager of Weed-Corley-Fish. It is also my honor to pass along from Mrs. Garcia, wife of Mr. Garcia her personal thank you and a wish for God's blessing on all that were there today.
