DRT soliciting donations to repair Hostess House

In recent months the Hostess House, an integral part of our community for almost a century, has required considerable expenditures for maintenance. The Oran Milo Roberts chapter of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas is responsible for the upkeep of this structure.

In 1991, our DRT chapter saved the Hostess House from the wrecking ball, and we are proud of our efforts to keep this wonderful building intact and in constant use. After remodeling efforts and for the past 16 years, we have borne all maintenance expenses, but now the resources of our small organization are exhausted.

The time has come to appeal to our fellow Lampasans, and we are confident the communityminded people of Lampasas will help us to provide the necessary repairs for this unique structure, our beloved Hostess House. There recently have been repairs due to flooding after a pipe burst upstairs, the maple floors upstairs need to be redone, and the 24 support posts on the porches are rotting and need to be replaced. We need your financial help!

Please be aware that 100 percent of all money received will go for maintenance of the Hostess House. Please send any donation (large or small) to OMRDRT, P.O. Box 546, Lampasas, TX 76550.
