From the Chairman’s Desk

I am amazed at the way different folks in our community are helping our neighbors. Having people in our community is what makes this area great.

One instance is that Kelly Deputy came around and tilled the neighbor’s gardens. Here’s to Kelly on being a good neighbor and incidentally he is also a volunteer fireman at our fire station. Thanks Kelly.

I’m wondering have you ever been loafing around in the area. Take your old vehicle and do some traveling in the byways of Crawford and surrounding counties and folks, you will see some areas which are awesome and some areas the nature will give you some scenes you will remember for a while. Just take a camera and sandwiches and drinks and spend the day, you’ll love it.

We have lost some people in our community; Ben Chorister, Rev. Gordon Easley and Jimmy Wilson. Our heart goes out to their families.

Every time I go to a funeral I realize just how short life is here on earth. I also think about me getting older, which I am but remember we all are.

March 31, 2007 we held a pie auction at the community building for the Mountainburg FFA Alumni. The alumni supports the Mountainburg on some of their endeavors. We had a blast with the FFA members and enjoyed some good eating. Some of the FFA students told the crowd on hand about what they were doing. Great job to our Agri Instructor Mr. Hall.

On May 12 2007 we are having an appreciation dinner for our volunteer firemen and their families. This will be only for those folks. It is just a small way to say thank you.
Well neighbors as you can see we are having lots of events and we would like for you to be involved.

Seeing yall later,
Richard
