The First Methodist Church of Grapeland has graciously offered to host a breakfast for us at 8:30 am on Saturday, October 8th, upon a donation basis. If you have not already done so, please let Kent or I know you plan to come so we can provide the church a reasonably accurate head count a couple weeks in advance.
We will depart from Crockett Family Resort by 8:00am to ride the 18 miles to breakfast in Grapeland. Let's plan to take a group photo

The church is operating on donations only. Be free with your gifts. If they charged a fee, they had to pay a bunch of taxes. No tax on donations. They will be ready to serve at 8;45.
The forecast for the upcoming weekend is great, with ±60° in the morning and high 80°'s in the afternoon, but, with no rain the past few weeks, it is very dry in our region, and there is a Burn Ban in effect for Houston County.

Unfortunately Aurora and I will not be able to attend. We had reserved cabin E and it is now available. If anyone needs a place to stay, please contact the resort.
Sorry y'all can't make it George.
