It is a beautiful design and will make a great Christmas gift! Get yours now! Call Johnnie Jo at 295-5551 Dear Members; J.D. and I wish to express our sincere thanks for the surprise we received at the November meeting. The plaques and flowers are beautiful. We appreciate your thoughtfulness. This is a labor of love on my part and J. D. does it as a support of me. We thank each of you for your support and continued help in making the Walker County Genealogical Society the best in Texas. Sincerely, Johnnie Jo & J. D. The Library Board voted to close the library on Saturday afternoons. It is absolutely necessary that each person who enters the Genealogy/Texana/Local History Room sign the book. Let the library staff know that you were there and used the materials in the room. Since our books do not circulate, they have no way of knowing who has been there if you do not sign in. Please write your name and the date in the book every time you enter the room. Jane Keppler 2200 Castlewood Trail Leander TX 78641-2378 512-528-9132
