WILLIAM R. VANCE
COUNTY JUDGE
BRAZOS COUNTY
February 20, 1978
Dear Friend:
The Commissioners Court wishes to extend to you a
special invitation to attend a groundbreaking ceremony
for the Brazos County Regional Multi -Use Facility,
in the Brazos County Park, to be held on Tuesday,
February 28, 1978, at 10:00 o'clock A. M.
The County Park is located approximately 2 mile
East-of—the East By -pass on-t-he new Briarcrest
Drive Extension.
We look forward to seeing you at that time.
Sincerely,
'-William R. Vance
P.O. BOX 3993
BRYAN. TEXAS 77801
Dear
r
Even though the Brazos Center will not be completed until
around March 1, 1979, events and activities are being scheduled now
for months to come.
Since not everyone is aware of the variety of space and uses
offered by the facility, the enclosed information is being sent to
you and other representatives of local clubs and organizations.
Because seeing is believing, facility tours are now possible
from noon to 3 P.M. on Wednesday provided prior arrangements have
been made through my office. These once -a -week tours make it
possible for you to see the building while causing a mininum, of
distraction to the workmen or slowing of the work schedule.
If you or your organization would like to know more about
the building or the services it will offer, please contact me. I
will be happy to talk with you about the Center or better yet,
give you a sneak preview of the soon -to -be finished product by
showing you around the building and grounds on a designated
Wednesday afternoon.
Once you see the Center and know more about it, I believe
you will agree that it is a valuable asset to our community.
I look forward
to assisting you in any way.
