Today is a sad day for us. Today our Chapter Treasurer passed away at about 3:05 this afternoon. Ted Butts was a great man who served proudly and will be missed by all. The services are expected to be on Tues. or Wend. of this next week. I or the Chairman Cruz will keep you all informed of the time an place of the ceremony.
