I would also like to let you know about the 6^th Annual Reagan Day/Texas Independence Day Dinner set for February 4^th, to be held at the Cameron VFW post. Times to be announced in the coming week. All of the local GOP candidates will be there, as well as many of the state GOP candidates as well. The Republican Women of Milam County will be hosting this event and put on the finest dinner and fund raiser of the year. More information to follow on this. There will be a ticket for each of our Milam County Press outlets.

That’s about it for today. Thank you so much for your help and patience.

Bill
