Good morning to all you wonderful Winter Texans who soon will be going back to your summer homes. We are going to miss you. Let me first of all thank you for setting such a good example for me to follow. Thanks to you who volunteer to tutor in our public schools, I decided to follow your example.
I am tutoring English reading in a low-income school that has a Boys and Girls program. Giving this one hour of service every week has brought me a great deal of pleasure and a feeling that my small contribution may actually be making a difference. I am even considering adding another school or an extra hour in the school where I already volunteer.

A Wisconsin Reunion was held on February 23 at Mr. Gatti’s, and according to Ralph Brill it was their biggest one yet. Brill said 186 people representing 41 different parks attended the reunion. The reunion is held each year in February. Be sure to look in the Winter Texan Times for their next reunion. (Courtesy photo)
