Funeral on Monday at 1030 AM at St. Benedict Catholic Church on North Elm Street (parking available across from the church at Hanes-Lineberry Funeral Home)

Due to the size of the church all Founders Club members are requested to arrive by 10:00 to be seated. (In order to know how many rows to save, PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND THE SERVICE.

Since Mack was the founder of the Green Coat Club, it would be appropriate for you to wear your GREEN Coat, but your Founders Club coat can be worn if you prefer. I plan to wear my GREEN COAT.

Regards to all,
Tom Martin, President
Founders Club
