Chapter Facebook Page: Alexander Hodge #49 Texas Sons of American revolution

 Following a recent Business Meeting, we discussed the need for a Facebook page.  I began the process, only to discover that we forgot that Ron Brown had created one back in 2012.

So, we welcome members to send a request to join.  I am currently creating photo albums for our Activities during each year.  Long process and will work each year we have photos or a record of activities.

I welcome photos from any member, past and present.  Although, you may have to tell me who everyone is.

Again, the Facebook Group's name is Alexander Hodge #49 Texas Sons of American revolution.

p.s.  If you are having trouble finding it, email me (jimgpenny@gmail.com) and I can send you an email Link.
