Much thanks goes out to chapter member, Billy Orsak, for providing us with this November chapter meeting report.

The chapter would like to thank Mikeska family for advertising our chapter meeting on their
new electronic color sign.

Joe called for any November birthdays but no one admitted to being another year older!

The Pledge of Allegiance was recited, a blessing was given and the meeting was
adjourned for the evening meal.

A big Thank You to
Mikeska’s as they provided the meal at no cost to the attending members in honor of
Veteran’s Day and VVA chapter 1069. They have always supported the chapter by donating
the meeting room recognizing the chapter on their billboard outside. Please patronize these
fine folks whenever you can.

John Steelman gave the treasurer’s report and the chapter is in good shape.

After the meal the meeting was called to order again and Joe introduced chapter member Augie Limas
(see photo below) who gave a report on his being honored at The Texas Outdoor Heroes festival at Centerville.
Augie (see photo above) was one of 11 honorees that were treated to various activities such as hunting, fishing,
trap shooting, and mighty fine meals. They were also presented mementoes of their induction
which included shirts, a special edition shotgun, and a beautiful quilt with embroidered name
tag.
See a great 15 minute video showing the details of the entire 3 day stay at the event that Augie attended, including him
expressing his gratitude to the folks who organized and volunteered their time to host the event. Use the following link

held in Centerville, Texas, last October. Use the link below to visit the webpage.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
