heard of the plight of a Navarro County family through an old high school
friend:</FONT> <FONT size=2><STRONG>Tory Cantu, age 13 was hospitalized for
Rheumatoid Arthritis, developed an allergic reaction to some medication,
developed an infection and died of complications. Shockingly, all of
this came to pass in a short period of time. Tory was just a young
teen, tragically did not live to be able to realize her full potential in
life. </STRONG></FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV>

each pint of blood donated, Cotton Patch Restaurants sold bracelets and a

can gather up all of our friends, bring out our best garb and banners,
armor, weaponry, horses, siege engines, day pavilions, water bearing
supplies and people willing to do water bearing, dancers, musicians,
artists, Chivalric & Rapier community, A & S displays (no judges,
only to dazzle the eyes and educate the public!). Bring medieval themed
merchandise to sell. Donate an item to the silent auction. Show
the public how you do some crafting: needlework, wood work, leather
work, calligraphy, illumination, creating items of mail, making
weaponry, etc. Whatever you do, the public wants to see it, to
learn more about it. </STRONG></FONT></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>
