President's Message
September
EFWBA Members,
We had a very nice crowd via Zoom to hear an excellent presentation by Leah Rios, President of Nolan Catholic School. The meeting format allowed President Rios to give us a real time tour of the campus that has undergone a massive transformation.
Through the wonders of technology, you can join the tour and see her presentation here: Sept meeting
Please feel free to share the link with others and use that opportunity to encourage them to visit a future EFWBA meeting.

October Meeting:
Our October meeting will feature Stacey Pierce, Executive Director of Streams & Valleys (https://streamsandvalleys.org).
Plan to join us on October 1 to hear from the organization that is "The Voice of the Trinity River." The meeting format (Zoom or in-person) is to be determined. Look for a message in the next couple of weeks with the meeting details.
Postponements: You have probably heard the annual EFWBA banquet has been postponed as has our September Spirit Night at Mexican Inn.
You can still support both of those enterprises by visiting Mexican for lunch or dinner or making a donation to the EFWBA scholarship or library book fund.
Donations can be sent to
EFWBA,
Attn: Don Boren, EFWBA Secretary,

I was honored to recently receive a phone call from the owner of the Mexican Inn restaurants, Chris Carroll. Chris heard the banquet was cancelled but he wanted to support the cause and is sending in a generous donation for the effort. It is wonderful to have friends like ours at Mexican Inn!
We're Open for Business signs: The signs are still available for EWFBA members and the members of the Lancaster PID. Contact Kwik Kopy (817.451.6276) to make arrangements to pick up your sign.
Thank you for your support of EFWBA. Take care and shop local!
