DEAREST COUSINS AND FRIENDS,

First thanks for attending the reunion. Each year it is encouraging to see that cousins are interested in the family and the home place we have in Jenkins. The memorial service for the State Archeological Landmark(SAL) medallion was moving to those who attended. It is a memorial to our cousins present and past, and stands as our small token of unconditional love to our family.

Donnie and Phyllis Weir begin Cabin renovation soon. We hope not to lose this chance. It could be lost forever. This cabin is a part of family history, Texas history, and has national historical significance. Please read Phil's remarks below. We need about $750 for a $5000 matching donation for Truitt cabin restoration. About $4,250 was lovingly donated at the reunion. Please help with $25 or any amount you may be able to support. If you are unable, please pray for our work. The matching donation expires the end of August. Gifts up to an additional $5,000 will also be matched.

Checks may be made to the East Texas Communities Foundation (ETCF) in Tyler with memo designating funds to JW Truitt Donor Designated Fund. See ETCF ORG or link from etruitt.com for instructions; phone 903 533 4245. We are fortunate to have a 501 c 3 federally approved and to have ETCF help. Monthly donations of $5 or any amount may also be made automatically via credit card. Kyle and Jaycee at ETCF are supportive and will help. Our website etruitt.com is up in a new format with news, pictures, information, and videos. Why not check it out?

LOVE AND RESPECT

Your Board of Directors
