Telephone (903) 784-6536 for room reservations. A limited breakfast menu is included with the room -- coffee, tea, juice, fruit, French toast, cereals, and Danish rolls. Heavy breakfasts are available at nearby restaurants. (More restaurant information will be in the packet everyone will receive when they check in.) Lunch and dinner is on your own.

Saturday 9 a.m. to 12 noon -- A trip to local cemeteries and other points of interest, including the Fulbright, Texas vicinity. Those who have volunteered to help can help transport people. There will be an outline in the packet.
Saturday afternoon -- Lots of time to talk with relatives, renew acquaintances, and rest up!
Saturday Evening Banquet. We will eat at 6:30 p.m.; arrive 6 p. m. to 6:20 p.m.. The cost is $16.51 per person. Send checks to David Herd, made out to "Fulbright Family Association". Your check is your reservation. The menu will include tea and/or coffee and cobbler (most likely apple or peach, but due to availability of seasonal fruits and berries, we have opted to make a seasonal choice.) We have kept the menu simple and, yet tried to give some choice. We would appreciate knowing if anyone has a need for special foods. For example, does anyone need rye bread in place of wheat? We will as the cook to go light on salt--guests can adjust seasoning at the table. Dr. Bill Eddleman, FFA President, will be the guest speaker. The general meeting of the Fulbright Family Association will be held AFTER the banquet. Mail banquet checks made out to "Fulbright Family Association" to: David Herd, 8708 E. 79th Terr.; Raytown, MO 64138-1337.
Sunday Morning Worship Service. Plans will be announced later.
Remember in east Texas it is generally very hot in June! Also if it should rain, and it probably won't, our black gumbo is like glue! Later, you will get a more detailed plan of our Saturday trips, but don't expect any part of it to be in concrete. Only God has control of the elements, and if it rains that mud will be plentiful around some of the cemeteries. Hope to see you in Paris!
