Here we are Railroad Unit Nobles and Ladies, writing the Au-gust 2017 news and it seems like we were just getting start-ed with the Spring clean-up. Oh well, time flies when you are having fun. At our July meeting we had eleven in attendance including Past Potentate Greg Viands and it was good to see Greg after all his health problems. We are glad he is on the rebound. High Priest and Prophet, Mike Kerns spoke to us and thanked us for our help and looks forward to us helping in the future. Our loading ramp is getting the final touches of paint and will look great when finished. The Jaycees Wing Off was well-attended with an estimated 4000 people. Up-coming events for the picnic grounds is the Chamber of Commerce crab feast on August 4th, the Temple Pig Roast on August 12, and we will run the train for that event from 1 to 4 PM. Then on August 13th is the Family Patient Picnic. We are still waiting for a response from the letter that our treasurer Bob Bowers wrote for a waiver for the work they want us to do in our kitchen. We participated in the New Creek’s Fireman’s Parade and we have been notified that there is a parade in Midland coming up on August 11th.
Thanks again,
Wayne D. Robertson Sr.
