There will no be a support meeting for July 2009.

Instead we'd like to see everybody at the ASSET picnic July 11th at Tugboat Island Park in Port Neches.

In order for us to better plan for the picnic we would like to get a head count.  If you are planning on joining us please let us know by either calling 409-727-5100 or .
