Members of Twin Sister Hermann Sons Lodge at the event were Lodge President Phil Hartmann, Karen Steiger, Kent Weber, Helen M. Knoll, and Gertrude and Frances Hartmann.

Troop leader Duan Tomlinson, his wife Tanja and son Travis were guests of the Lodge on Sunday, August 7, at their regular August meeting.

The lodge and the scouts would like to thank the management of Super S for allowing the boys to set up the tent in their parking lot and to the people of Blanco who stopped by and very generously gave food items and cash.
