Official Visit # 34, Fort Stockton, TX

September 20, 2012

Let the party begin.  Fort Stockton is a unique and entertaining club.  They do all they can to make you feel welcome and warm.  As I arrived in town the evening prior, I was told that the club was not at full strength.  They had entertained the RFE team from Great Britain the three evenings prior and they were a little tired.

Thank you Great Britain!  Holy Cow, there is no way I could have continued if they were not tired.  This was an incredible visit.  This club has so many projects from the peace garden at the hospital to the bird feeders at the rest home.  One of the main fundraisers is a raffle for an Audad hunt in the Big Bend of Texas.  That’s right, “Audad”.  I won’t tell you, you go look it up.  This club is totally active in the community and leaves no stone unturned to find a place to help.

I was truly at home in Fort Stockton.  This club is warm, open and fun.  This was a great visit.  Hope I get an Audad!  (Don’t you want to know?  Look it up! ;>)
