Alamo Area SKP Co-Op/Retreat of Texas, Inc. Lone Star Corral

Due to the hard work of several of our members, our new decorative landscape fences have been built and installed! A big THANK YOU to John Swatloski who oversaw the building and installation, Jim Mossman for the design and ALL the volunteers who have donated their time, labor and construction talent to making this project happen.

During the next few weeks, as the wood seasons and dries out, there will be a stain applied, then lights will be added to the standing posts.  Thank you to Linda Mossman and her team for the staining of the fences and the lighting!

John Swatloski, Larry Brogan, Pat McCubbin and Richard Buck install a corner near Lot 49 of the Clubhouse.

A fence is installed near Lot 41.

THANKS TO OUR VOLUNTEERS FOR MAKING LONE STAR CORRAL GREAT!!

Its finally arrived!  The new BINGO machine is operational and had its debut on Friday, March 29th as the BINGO players gathered in the Clubhouse.  Everyone appreciated the new machine!  Thank you to Sandi Million for her hard work in preparing the order and overseeing the purchase!  A special THANKS to all the BINGO players who donated some of their winnings each week over the past year to help offset the cost of the new machine.

Brenda Coghill was the lucky caller on Friday night.  The delight at a cooperating machine is pretty evident!

Brenda Coghill and Sharon Ashford oversaw the fun Friday night with the new machine. Those who won declared the machine “great”, those who didn’t said they’ll try again!

With the approval of the Bluebonnet Officers and the Board of Directors, our old machine has been donated to the Hondo Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Hondo.  Even though it was about 23 years old, with a few quirks, they did not have one at all, so they are very appreciative of receiving our old one.  Thank you to Sharon Ashford and Sandi Million for their work getting the machine to them!

In Memoriam

Jane LaMont

MEMBER OF THE LONE STAR CORRAL SINCE 2006.

Jane was quite active in the Lone Star Corral. She served on various LSC committees, was a member of the LSC Board of Directors and was a Bluebonnets officer.

Jane passed away on March 11, 2019. She will be missed.

Rest in Peace, Jane.

What beautiful weather was on tap for a trip to Castroville for our monthly Ladies’ Lunch Bunch! Even the bluebonnets cooperated! The ladies ate at Julianna’s at the golf course. The food was artfully presented, plentiful & tasteful. The view from the restaurant is lovely as it overlooks wide expanses of green. After a long winter, it was a grand reprieve. This restaurant is a go-to for anyone looking for a relaxing luncheon. I am sure the 20+ ladies who carpooled to this event had an enjoyable afternoon.

Submitted, Diana Stone, Lot #94
