We are looking forward to the Pow-Wow, residents declining to attend the Olympics just to save their energy up for the day of the 11th!

A special thank you to Lindsey Marshall for bringing in the gift bags for our residents. We appreciate her very much!

Also, if you would like to be involved in our `Adopt a Resident" for Christmas program, please give Gretta a call at 903-849-2485. Most of our residents have made their Christmas list, which consists of three items; you may purchase all three or one - you choose. If there is a certain resident that you are interested in, please call early.

A Big thank you to Ms. Margaret Burks for filling in and calling Bingo on the 27th, Saturday. Our residents appreciate her very much. She realizes the importance of Bingo and Bible study for her fellow residents. Also, Mr. Thomas Troutman, Christine and Ms. Marie Pierce help out with church services when services are not provided by the community.

That brings me to the need for services on the 2nd and 4th Sunday afternoon services. We are in need of a special person or persons who will provide services around 3:00 pm or even 3:30pm. If you are looking for a blessing, you will find it here! If you are that special someone, please give Gretta a call at 903-849- 2485.

A special thank you to Ms. Birdwell for the plant, which will be used by our residents to be re-potted. And at the end of three months we will all meet again with our plants. A prize for the "greenest thumb" will be awarded.

We are looking for some size 8 misses pants. Would like to have elastic waist, but will take what is donated. Please make donations to Social Service Department, ask for Gretta.
