We have been invited to ride in a parade at the 17th Annual Audie Murphy Day in Farmersville which is a celebration dedicated to honoring local Veterans and active military personnel along with hometown hero, Audie Murphy.  Sue and Howard Griffiths are bringing the information booth.  We plan to man the booth from setup at approximately 0800 until approximately 1300.
