Saturday, May 17th @ 11:00 AM

Click Here To Get Directions

The quarterly meeting in May will be at the Historic Birdville Cemetery and this will be the 12th Annual meeting in this beautiful place. The cemetery association works very hard to make sure the cemetery grounds are maintained properly and they should be commended for doing such a great job. If you have not visited the cemetery since last year, it now has paved roads through the area.

We will arrive at approximately 11:00 AM. A tour of the grounds will begin at 11:30 led by someone in the cemetery association. We will then enjoy lunch which is always wonderful. BHS will supply the main dish. This year we will have Schlotzsky's Sandwiches and members can bring complimentary side dishes. As always, BHS will provide drinks and all paper goods for the meal. We always have an assortment of wonderful food and I'm looking forward to this being a great time in history as well.

We will enjoy hearing from Ben Tahmahkera, the great, great, grandson of Comanche Chief Quanah Parker. Ben will talk to us about his famous ancestor and will entertain us with stories of his family and the Comanche Nation.
