If you want to be included, just reply to this post and be there tomorrow night. Fun and games this year include a special anniversary edition of "Framers Feud":laughing:
How we got our name--The Texas Gulf Coast Chapter!!
In 1977, a series of memos were exchanged between Dorothy Robinson, the administrative director of PPFA and Charlie Matthews, our regional Director. Dorothy asked Charlie to ask our chapter to change our name because a chapter in Florida also has the name, Gulf Coast. Charlie defended our name and wrote back to Dorothy telling her to ask the Florida chapter to change theirs--we had ours first!! The solution was for us to be called the Texas Gulf Coast chapter. I think it was an improvement.
