GENEROUS 2014 SPONSORS Much of what we are able to do as an Association is possible because of those who help sponsor special events.  Our ability to help fellow alumni, support our former home and hold reunions would not be possible without the generous contributions of these companies and individuals.  Please express your gratitude and support Sponsor of the Annual Meeting Jimmie Boatwright in Memory of Laura Sponsor of the Legendary Picnic Gary Hardy Hole-In-One Sponsor - Sixth Year FIRST UNITED BANK OF AMARILLO Thank You Rodney Ruthart  Long Drive Contest Sponsor  Gary Hardy  Tiger Hole Sponsor - Fouth Year THE WAGGONERS TRUCKING Thank you Daniel Scroggs Seventh Year  WESTERN LEATHERCRAFT  Hand Made Boots for Auction Fifth Year JAMES AVERY CRAFTSMEN Silent Auction Gift  ____________________________________ HOLE SPONSORS Cross Pointe Auto Auto Connection Brinlee's Automotive Covenant Motors Gene Messer Ford LG Auto Group Chuck Farrell Bobby & Cindy Sarpalius Jordan & Cam Lindsey Michael Rogers Amy Brasher David and Debra Rodgers Guy & Geneva Finstad Robert Leming Mark & Kathleen Embry Ricky Smith Don Brecht Tom Alvarez The Dillingham FAmily Other Contributors          2014 - 15  Alumni Gatherings/Events Southern CA - Sept 27, 14 Northern CA - Oct 4, 14 Florida - Nov 15, 14 Dallas - Feb 7, 2015 Memphis - Mar 21. 2015 Maryland - Mar 28, 2015 Houston - April 18, 2015 Austin - April 25, 2015 DFW Golf - May 16, 2015 Oklahoma - May 26, 2015 Girlstown - June 13, 2015	MEMPHIS & MARYLAND COMING UP     BR/GT Gatherings in Memphis (actually Tunica, MS, but that's just across the river from Memphis) and Maryland (Kent Island, more specifically) are coming up in March.    Ronnie Crouch has again arranged for the Memphis Gathering to be held at the Hollywood Casino in Tunica (1150 Casino Resort Strip Blvd, Tunica, MS 38664).  While we will all plan to get together on Saturday evening, March 21st, the whole weekend can be filled with vacationing, socializing, gathering and etc.  (Be careful about the "etc.").  You can make reservations at the Hollywood by calling either Charlie Brown (662-910-0369) or JoAnn Hicks (662-613-0675) at the Hollywood.  Say you are from Boys Ranch and you will get the special rate of $79.  Payers rates apply (that is to say, the more you play, the lower the rate may be).  Call Ronnie if you have other questions (256-627-1389).      Memphis is followed by Maryland!  The following Saturday, March 28th, Alumni will be gathering again at the Harris Crab House on Kent Island (click the link for directions) for the Maryland Gathering.  Bill Sarpalius has arranged for this event where we will have a room upstairs for meeting and eating and...  We will start gathering at the Crab House (crabs are not in season) around 5 p.m.  It's everyone for themselves so eat and drink whatever you want...its all on you.  Its cherry blossom time in the area so plan on a family weekend.        If you are making plans to attend either of these events please email or phone Bob Sarpalius so he can start giving them a headcount cfbraa@sarpserv.com;  (817)-788-8782.  Make your own reservations at the Hollywood!     Both of these gathering places are surrounded with venues for the whole family so plan to make at least a weekend of it and spend time with your BR/GT family.
