Upcoming Senior Senate Meeting
Our first Senior Senate meeting of 2005-2006 was cancelled
due to Hurricane Rita. We held the October 9 meeting as planned,
but you may not have gotten word with all of the craziness
that came after the storm. If you plan to participate in Senior
Senate this year, it’s not too late. You have one more
opportunity. Please plan to come to the November 13 meeting
at the Girl Scout Center in Houston from 2-4 p.m. Confirm
