Austin-area Meet & Greet

I hope to make this a quarterly event. We will get together on Saturday, April 9th at 4pm at the Cracker Barrell restaurant at 2350 N I-35, Round Rock (southbound frontage road, the exit north of Highway 79). As with the previous Meet & Greet, this is "Dutch". I know what I'm havin' to eat! The plan is to be able to get to know one another without having a "thing", and to also talk about what we might do to help raise both awareness about what Soldiers' Angels does and the funds to continue those good works for our troops and their families. If you think you'll be able to make it, please email me at cnctx06 -at- gmail -dot- com to RSVP by Friday, April 8th. If we have enough people, we'll need to let the restaurant know we're expecting a large group, even though we are hoping to miss any dinner crowd.

We do have the Operation Top Knot Baby Shower coming up at the end of April at Fort Hood, and they are collecting donations through April 15. If you are able, please feel free to bring a donation.

After we are finished at Cracker Barrel, anyone who is interested can go to see the Round Rock Express take on the Iowa Cubs. First pitch is 7:05 and the gates open one hour before the game. I am already in contact with the Express to (hopefully) have a Soldiers' Angels event in conjunction with a game this season. Last season, we were able to collect donations from fans at the Home Plate gate and in return, the Express generously donated general admission (berm seating) tickets for the fans who made a donation. Saturday game tickets range in price from $7 to $16 when purchased at the ballpark, day of game. Be prepared to sit in on the berm (I've got a blanket in my car!) if we decide to go for "the cheap seats". Oh, and parking at the Dell Diamond is $5 per car.

Well, I hope we at least get to see you at Cracker Barrel! I look forward to developing an active group of Angels here in Central Texas!
