French Legation Construction Update

​Report from Ed Priest:

Sept 16, 2019:   Construction is continuing at the French Legation.  Status of the various projects include:

-- Continued reworking of the back gate entrance by the parking lot.  It is really taking shape now.

-- On the Legation itself windows and door have been removed at the back and the old concrete and wooden ramp have been removed. The rotten timbers have been removed from the front porch.  

-- The new steps at the front and side of the building are shaping up with the forms for the foundation footing.

-- Work is continuing on the entrance to the carriage house.  Interior work has also started which includes the restroom.

-- The parking lot is defiantly showing the most head way.  

-- The old brick walkways are being removed making way for the new ADA approved ones.

-- They are trying to save what grass they can during this hot summer with portable sprinklers since the irrigation system is totally dismantled.

​It is good to see how the work is progressing at this time.

 - Ed

The Passing of Terry Plemons

​My great and loving father passed away yesterday at 4:44 PM on his 78th and a half birthday.   He was a good man and my best friend... he really loved Petanque and the friendships that he had with all you guys.  Keep his memory close to you and he will always be on the court along side us.

- Michael Plemons

​Farewell Terry Plemons

Terry will be greatly missed by his real family and his pétanque family.

Amadeus Tournament Results

LBC supported the Nelson Ranch Pétanque Club on June 23 in a benefit Carousel tournament to help raise funds to send junior member Amadeus Alejandro to the 17thJunior Triplets World Pétanque Championships to be held in November in Phnom Peng, Cambodia.  Amadeus’s team mates are Noah Sonet from California and Parker Edwards from North Carolina. The team will be representing the USA against youngsters from all over the world.  We are very proud of Amadeus and to have a representative from our area in the Junior World Championships.  

 The benefit was supported by players and contributors from clubs in Austin, San Antonio and Dallas.   The money raised will help fund his trip, or as one person said fund his return trip.  The weather became hot as did the play.  The food was great as always!  Winners received special commemorative medals.

 The tournament winners were:

1st Place Amine Najah & Don Jansky

2nd Place Kathy Ragan & Olivier Simondet

3rd Place Edward Vaissiere & Christophe Chambers

 Anyone wanting to help support Amadeus can send a check made out to Cindy Alejandro to Kathy Ragan 10503 Brannon Cove, Austin, TX 78759
