The Billie Renfroe Chapter proudly invites all members to this year’s Annual National Meeting in our neck of the woods and enjoy some Cowtown hospitality.

THIS YEAR’S ANNUAL MEETING will be held at the Dallas/Fort Worth Marriott Hotel & Golf Club at Champions Circle near Texas Motor Speedway from 20-24 August.  The theme this year is Cowtown Round-up.  We have a great experience in-store for you this year, starting on Wednesday, with the small batch tour.  One of the scheduled stops is of course to the historic Fort Worth Stockyards. Thursday, we will host the CMSgt Howard Redd Memorial Golf Tournament right at the same property as the Annual Meeting.  Thursday night will be our traditional Meet-and-Great.  Friday, we will kick off the Annual Meeting followed by a tour of Lockhead Martin (F-35) or The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (TBD).  Saturday, we’ll complete our Annual Meeting followed by our banquet that evening.  Sunday will be our morning prayer and remembrance.  That would conclude this year’s events.
