Annual Meeting just a little over 2 weeks away!



If your reading my blog right now you must
be thinking why is she letting me know again
about the annual meeting?

It's because it is a very important meeting.  We will
be discussing things that will impact the site for
the next few years.  What, with the San Pedro Creek
Liniar Park on our back door and the new Federal
Building to be build across the street from Casa
Navarro on Nueva St. there is a lot to talk about.
We will be presenting nominees for officers of the
Board of Friends and discussing the possibility of
moving the dues date for membership to Mr. Navarro's
Birthday February 27th.  We will need your input.
I personally anticipate everyone wanting to participate in
our family heritage historical site.  Did you know
that the Francisco Ruiz's home, was the first school
house in San Antonio?  Mr. Ruiz was a school teacher
for our city.  His home is presently at the Witte Museum
on Broadway St. in San Antonio and is used as the
gift shop for the museum.  We are on a mission to
get it moved back to where it originally stood and that
is on Dolorasa St. which was bounded by the San Pedro Creek. 
The San Pedro Creek not only goes behind the Spanish
Governor's Palace, and the Casa Navarro, it should also
pass the Ruiz home which is a part of Texas history that
needs to be preserved and put in its proper place.  
We are going to petition the City of San Antonio to get it moved
back to where it belongs.  We are also petitioning the
City to name the new Federal Building after our esteemed ancestor Jose Antonio Navarro.

You can see how valuable you working with us can be.
I know that many of you have talents that could be
utilized by the Friends Organiztion and what a better cause
for you to participate in but this.  Please join me.  I need
your help.
