Thanks to Everyone Who Helped and Donated Items On Thanksgiving Day, a family of 6 (2 adults and 4 chilren ranging in ages from 2 months to 8 years) received a Thanksgiving Feast. Thanks goes to Pam Green, Angela Jaynes and Cheri Allen for delivering the meal on that special day. Thanks also goes to those who prepared homemade treats, donated formula and milk for the little ones. Lots of Stuff Going on Angela Jaynes with the help of Matt Orndorff came to the rescue of the Bird family on Thursday, October 19th. They both got a little taste of childcare. So how was it? Thanks to all the people who gave their afternoon to decorate for the Centennial Dinner/Dance held on October 21st. The hall looked absolutely beautiful. The CD "Centennial Moments" is available and may be purchased for $10.00. Daniel Padilla did a great job on it!! Contact Marty for your copy. On Tuesday October 24th, Pam Green and Gale Fisher were to spend their evening reading at one of our local schools. It was a pilot program to promote reading to parents and their children. However, the turn-out was poor and the ladies did a lot of waiting, but no reading. Better luck next time... at Barnes & Noble! On Saturday, November 4th, Barbie Van Fleet hosted a surprise baby shower for Tami Smith. Lot's of people attended and everyone had tons of fun, including the kids. Thanks for opening your home and for the great vittles.
