Looking for ride from Lakeway

"This is Sue Coffman, Houston folk dancer. I'm writing on behalf of Elsie Dodge. She folk danced in Houston for over 40 years. She is now living at an assisted living facility in Lakeway, Texas, northwest of Austin and no longer drives a car. I visited her last weekend (Oct 10) and we went to Friday night folk dancing at Hancock Recreation Center." If you live in or near Lakeway and would like to help Elsie make it to Friday Night dancing, please contact Bill Ogilvie and he'll provide the contact info and help coordinate.
