We have members Lillian, Madelyn, Annie Beasley & Weston Bull who went to Little Rock to compete with their poultry in a Spring Show. They had to have their chickens in place Friday evening and were being judged today and they should be home tonight. So the next newsletter I will have their results for you.
Our club once again for about 10 years now have been active in the American Cancer Society’s "Relay For Life". I got involved in it then when my dad had cancer. He was never able to go and participate in the Survivors Walk because he was too weak. I encourage everyone who has never been and participated to make it at least to it one time. The best time would be to be there at 9:00 p.m. At that time all the lights are turned off. The Luminary sacks are lined around both sides of the track and they spell HOPE up in the stands. But at that time everyone meets in the middle of the track and all the names are read that are in "Honor" or in "Memory". After the reading everyone participates in a silent walk in memory of all the people whose names are on the sacks. I have several of my family with sacks, I saw neighbors names people I didn't even know who has had cancer but have Luminary sacks in Honor of them. Please, if you get a chance go at least one time. I promise you will be touched and will cry a little.
If you have any one you want to buy a Luminary sack in "Honor" or in "Memory" please call me. They cost $5.00 a sack. Our club is also selling chances on baskets that will be given away that night. They cost $1.00 apiece or 6 for $5.00. A few of the baskets we have ready now are: A man's fishing basket, a women's gardening basket, we have a box of 8 yard lights. So call me and we can fix you up or call one of our 4-H kids. All the money we make on the baskets goes to the American Cancer Society.
On Sunday we are having our Club Achievement Banquet where we reward the kids for all their hard work. Luann Wise
