Food for thought – You can give without loving, but you can’t love without giving.
Our MOW breakfast is Saturday had 52 people enjoying good food and visiting with friends.
We raised $443.00 for our MOW program. A big thank you to all who donated. A special thank you to United for $50 gift card to help defray some of the cost. Those who cooked and served the breakfast were Ramon Garcia, Jeannette Bradford, Jo Lacy, Eunice Montgomery, Pat Dawson, and Janet James.
Upcoming events – Mark your calendars! Monday (Aug. 26) Bingo 1-2. Tuesday (Aug. 27) Calvert from 11-12. Wednesday (Aug. 28) B & A Day- Bridge starting at 1:00. .
Bingo on Monday had 32 players waiting to yell Bingo- Bingo. The secret prize was won by Donovan Reader. The blackout amount of $60.18 was split by Pat Dawson and Rufina Perez.
Just for laughs – The fire department was called to the scene of a large fire. One truck arrived well ahead of the others, with the driver speeding through the streets. He quickly doused the flames.
At a dinner given in the fireman’s honor, the mayor gave a speech about how he had saved the building, as well as those around it, by getting there so fast and extinguishing the fire.
“What can we give you to show our gratitude for your work?” asked the mayor.
“Brakes,” replied the fireman.
Mow delivers for Aug. 12 – 16 were done by First Methodist Church. Those who served were Richard Edwards, Don Mitchell, Beth Mitchell, Carolyn Marley, Jacque Davidson, Ann Haire, May Belle Kern, Debra Sims, Becky Gamble, Jo Gay, and Steve Campbell.
MOW deliveries for August 26 – 30 is the responsibility of Bible Baptist Church.
