A Line from Perrine
Moving
Yes, we are moving, but no, we are not leaving so soon. To completely confuse people, Jane and I are moving on June 6, but I will be commuting back to Burnet daily until the end of June. Our new apartment is 900 Discovery Blvd, #2107, Cedar Park 78613. It is located between 183A and old 183 off 1431, or going south on 183A, get off at 1431 and take the first left which is Discovery Blvd. The apartment complex is the first left on Discovery.
We will have a telephone but I don’t know the number now. I suggest you use my cell phone which is a local call from Burnet (755-1028) to contact me. Our email will remain perrinegeorge@aol.com for me and perrinegj@aol.com for Jane.
We will have plenty of time to say our good-byes to everyone. And, as a point of personal privilege, I have picked my personal favorite hymns for the Sundays in June (some will ask, so what’s new about that?) so come in and sing George’s favorites with us.
Love to all,
George

AMAZING TALENT
It was just one amazing act after another at the Talent Show. Who would have guessed that such displays were just waiting to be discovered beneath the dignified masks they ordinarily wear!! Yes, “they” meaning one after another of our church members—were entertaining and hilarious. There were some serious acts, too, and they were well done! Thank you Membership Committee for a really enjoyable event!
