0 Comments

 
James Anderson Park – Medina Lake
 
Members!! Due to members violating the rules we have had several suspensions of park privileges. I am posting these not to embarrass anyone but for members to pay attention to the rules.
The board and myself do not enjoy giving suspensions so please follow the rules.
 
1) a member was given a 30 day suspension for allowing their son to have access to the park without the member present at the park.
2) pending suspension for a member who was at the park and left their guests with member's key fob inside the park. The member had no intention of returning.
3) pending suspension for a member giving key fob to daughter. The daughter is not a member and brought 14 guests(total with member then would have been 16).
Member arrived approximately 4 hours after the daughter and her guests arrived.
 
When you signed for the key fob you accepted the rules and signed that you understood the rules.
Rules posted on this page feel free to read them.

Retiree's Lunch

From: Robert Farley
Subject: Snoga’s Lunch
 
Next Saturday, May 30, at 1:00 pm, we will meet at Snoga’s for the first time since the lockdown.
Alva Snoga was very excited to hear we would be back since business was very slow, even after they were able to reopen the dining room this week.
 
They have always been great to us so it would be a show of support for the family owned and run business to get a large crowd back. Those who want to wear a mask or sit away from the crowd, are still invited with that option available.

The address is 2567 Goliad Rd and they still take cash, check, debit cards, and credit cards, no American Express.

My prayers are with Tony’s family at this time of loss and sorrow. Tony and I were SAPD classmates and good friends. I also know that he was a Vietnam Veteran as were many of us in our class. My family and I extend our sincerest condolences to all of his family. May your own faith in God sustain you bringing you comfort today and courage for tomorrow, and the memories of good times never forgotten.

The San Antonio Police Department Cadet Class 1972-D wishes to express their condolences to the family of Tony Vargas. The last time most of us saw Tony was at our monthly luncheon at Estela’s cafe, right before he moved to Arizona. Tony was a beloved fellow police officer and a true friend. Tony will be greatly missed.
