"Hello everyone. The Houston area has had the privilege of hosting the Texas Open for the last eight years. Due to changes beyond our control, the committee decided that we would like to pass on the duties of hosting the 34th Annual Texas Open. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time and certainly hope that over these last years those of you that attended did as well.

This is to inform those interested parties that the hosting duties are now available. If your area is interested in hosting the 34th Annual Texas Open, please get in contact with me at kdkone@aol.com and I will give you as much information as possible. I am in the process of changing phones etc. but if you include the numbers where I can reach you I will certainly get back with you. If there is more than one interested party, there will be a special meeting of the Texas Caucus called to hear your presentations and vote. The Texas Caucus is made up of the Texas Great Peppers. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks all." Keith Karaff
