Texas Area A Retreads' Holiday Party on Saturday
December 16, 2000. See Attached Flyer. Be there!

Note: This is a short newsletter this month. Member spotlight is missing. I plan on making up for this at the Holiday Party. Please expect that the member spotlight section will be greatly expanded in the January 2001 newsletter. I plan on taking my wife's notebook with me so I can store a bunch of pictures. Hopefully I will see you.

It is also getting to be that time of year again. Please renew your membership by using attached application.
