    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!!

    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.
