Linda Harrison
Unit President
A big thanks to Susan & Charles Ford, Nelda Avent and Linda Harrison for
going the extra mile and appearing before the Tyler City Council on September 11. The Council was meeting to review the city's proposed budget. Our members discussed with them Unit 225's status as a nonprofit organization and the need to keep our rent as low as possible and to continue using our storage space. They made the front page of the Tyler Morning Telegraph. Click here for the complete article.
In Memoriam 
Barbara Williams passed away on Aug. 20th at the home of her daughter in Eustace after a brief illness. She was our director in Gun Barrel for over 10 years and a dear friend to so many. Barbara loved directing, but did get to play with her partners Jo Booth and Rachel Lee when she got a chance. She loved going to tournaments and had attained the Silver Life Master rank. We will truly miss her.
