North Texas PPFA Chapter

Charlie Matthews passed away at his home Saturday night, March 13, 2010

Charlie was on the Board of Directors of PPFA during the 1970s and served at least one term as Treasurer. He had been active in the North Texas Chapter of PPFA for three decades and served in leadership roles at times.

His health had been in decline in recent years. He had fought and conquered throat cancer. Recently, he had been in the hospital for ten days battling congestive heart failure. That problem led to his demise. He spent the last few days at home with the help of Hospice.

For those wishing to make contact.

Charlie’s step daughter is Jorja (pronounced Georgia) Williams, 2214 Lorraine Dr., Carrollton, TX, 75006. The burial will be in Waxahachie, TX. and will be under the direction of the Boze, Mitchell, Mckibben Funeral Home in Waxahachie.

The North Texas PPFA chapter needs volunteers for the following positions:

Librarian: Responsible for overseeing the chapter’s library, acquiring new books and media according to the chapter’s needs, bringing the library to the meetings and keeping records of book and media traffic.

Competition chair: Responsible for acquiring  and selling the competition pieces, finding a suitable location for members to drop off their entries to be judged and  supervising the judging process.

Both positions require a small time commitment that will certainly be appreciated by the chapter’s members. Call Jerry or Michael today and get involved!
