Edmund Terrill Chapter #34 Sherman

Welcome

Happy Summer!

Many thanks to Treasurer John Young for presiding over our May meeting in my absence. I understand that the meeting was a good one, and we were able to honor our military relatives on Armed Forces Day... a fitting tribute.

Our next meeting is on Saturday, July 19th, 2025 at 9:30am at Grandy's in Sherman. As in May, our Treasurer, John Young, will be presiding in my absence. We will be privileged at that meeting to have as our speaker Pat Thibodeau from Terrell, Texas. She is a treat! Pat is a long time member of the DAR, currently serving as Regent of the Susan Emma Daugherty Banister Chapter in Forney, Texas. In addition to the DAR, she belongs to many other lineage organizations. She is also an Air Force veteran. Pat has been speaking publicly for many years and has received many, many awards and honors. Her program is entitled, "Sometimes We Get It Wrong". Please plan to be there! You will be glad you attended.

Also at the July meeting, our TXSSAR District 11 Vice-President, Jim Akers, will be inducting new members Bob Collins and Tony Aleman. Please be there and welcome our new Compatriots!

As I mentioned in my previous email, I encourage each and every one of you to be giving a great deal of consideration as to how you may be of help going forward in the Edmund Terrill Chapter. We are desperately in need of help in so many areas, especially men to fill officer positions. This fall, we will have a nominating committee that will be contacting many of you. Please step up and be involved!

As before, we will have a gift card as a door prize for one lucky attendee! I hope to see you all in September.

Dr. Gary N. Sisson, Acting President
