A BIG THANK YOU to all the volunteers that helped with the Dump Run on 3/28. Because we had such
a good crew of men & women, we were finished and back home at 10:30. GOOD JOB, EVERYONE!
We planned to meet at the fire pit, Sat. 3/28 @7:30pm. Our challenge was to roast wieners & marshmallows,
eat, drink, and socialize and have FUN. And, boy oh boy, did 34 of us meet that challenge. There was a lot of
laughter, many stories, plenty of food but mostly a Fun filled evening for all. Keep your eyes opened for the
next wiener roast at the fire pit. Thank you all for attending, see y’all next time!
Sarah Baker, Lot 112
A Big Texas THANK YOU to Jane Lamont and Jack Pearce for the Monday and Friday Social Hours and to

welcomed. Looking forward to many years of the same.

MEET A NEW MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Sandra Million was elected to the LSC Board of Directors at the 2015 Annual Membership Meeting,
and will be serving as Committee Liaison. She and husband Art reside on Lot #73. They are originally
from Minnesota. Before retiring, Sandie owned a craft store. She and Art also owned a sporting
goods store in Colorado, among other endeavors. Sandie relates that after taking their first trip to
Alaska, they decided to become full-time RVers. Because her family is scattered across the United
States, Sandi and Art travel to different destinations during the summer. In 2011 the Millions became
members of the Alamo Area SKP CO-OP/Retreat (AKA the Lone Star Corral). In 2013, Sandie was
President of the Blue Bonnet Auxiliary.
Sandie said she is proud that the Board of Directors show a great deal of interest in the park and
she would like to see some improvements which would hopefully bring in more visitors. Among those
improvements, Sandie said she would like to see the Clubhouse air-conditioned and a pool added to
the park’s amenities.

DID YOU KNOW????
There’s been a rumor going around the LSC the past few days that the Easter Bunny has been
leaving small egg-shaped objects on people’s lots and causing an awful mess!! We didn’t pay much
attention to these rumors until we actually CAUGHT HIM IN THE ACT!!!

Wednesday, April 8, 2015 at Brick's in Bandera. We’ll meet in the Clubhouse at
11:30 AM and leave at 11:45 AM. Please sign up. Sign-up sheet is on the table in

For those members and guests who will be at the Lone Star Corral during the
summer months, remember Ladies' Lunch Bunch meets every month of the year,
yes, even when it is hot and humid!
Set aside the second Wednesday of each month for a good
meal and fun time.
FROM THE LIBRARY: The LSC Library usually does not attempt to shelve Medical or Technical
books because both subjects are impossible to keep current, and periodicals and the internet do a
much better job. We have made room for a new Windows 8 book and DVD set which may prove
helpful to those of you struggling. The set is located under "Hobby" on the north wall.
Jimmie Schader
MEDINA COUNTY FOOD PANTRY: We are still collecting items for the Medina County Food Pantry.
There is a collection container on the benches against the south wall of the clubhouse for any
donations you have. Please give generously to those in need.
Vonda and Otto Urban, Lot 51
THE BATTERED WOMEN AND CHILDREN'S SHELTER provides a safe place for women and their
children when they are being abused. The collection container for this Member Sponsored Program is
located along the south wall of the Clubhouse. Please donate generously to this Shelter as there is a
great need.
