**CANCELLATION** 2020 TAB Spring Rendezvous
From Big John Donahoo
It is with a heavy heart I must announce the cancellation of the 2020 TAB Spring Rendezvous April 3rd-5th. The Board of Directors had already been in communication with one another about the subject when we received word last night that the landowner has asked that we not come onto her property until the corona virus outbreak settles down.
That said, the landowner does want us to have a TAB Rendezvous on her property in the future and suggested we come in October 2020 for the Fall Rendezvous. After discussing it with the other Board members we decided to do just that. Andrew Lewis has asked that his election as Booshway be deferred to the Fall 2020 Rendezvous. The Board agrees with that request.
The 2020 TAB Fall Rendezvous will be held on that property near Paige, Texas October 23-25, 2020 with Andrew Lewis as Booshway and Ronnie Spence as Segundo.
The Board of Directors will be happy to answer any questions any of our members may have regarding the subject.
Please stay safe and be good to one another.
For the Board of Directors,
Big John

TFT Rendezvous postponed to February 21-24th
I’m glad we aren’t in a drought in South Texas, but the rain got the best of us again for the TFT Rendezvous. Almost the same conditions as last fall. The TFT Rendezvous is being moved to February 21-24th. As before, please RSVP. We appreciate all those that replied and gave us their cell numbers. Get the word out!

TFT Rendezvous, Feb 8-10, 2019
Sorry for the extremely late notice. We are having a TFT rendezvous February 8-10, in Shiner. Attached are the flyer and map. Take note that we are asking for an RSVP to either the Booshway or Segundo or you can email me and I’ll pass it along.
Because of gate security on the ranch and the ever potential for a downpour, an RSVP will ensure folks can get in the gate or we can pass along news of a cancellation. Upon arrival at the site, call the numbers on the flyer and someone will come down to open the gate. We apologize to those that were notified too late last fall when we got rained out. The ranch land just won’t support vehicles and we don’t want to go “mudding” through private property.
Hope to see you there, Jack Simons
