Mulberry Community Theater

Mulberry Community Theater will present their fall play on December 12 and 13th at 8:00 pm and December 14th at 2:00 pm. Call Envisions at 997-2441 or City Hall at 997-1321 for reservations which is recommended.

This presentation will be unique because 3 members of our local EHC right here in Turner will have an important role. Want to know the stars? Sorry, just plan to support these fine ladies by attending.

Here Comes Christmas

Don't Look Now, But Here Comes Christmas!--Can you believe that the year is almost gone and it won’t be long until that wonderful time of year we call Christmas! It seemed like just yesterday I wrote to thank you all for the great participation in our annual pie auction. And now it’s time to remind you of the community effort this requires to keep this tradition going. Our pie auction will be Saturday evening November 15th at 6:30 PM.

Please write this on your calendars and make plans for you and your family to attend. As always, we need pies and cakes donated, and we also need people to attend the auction and purchase all those goodies. Along with the pie auction we’ll have the traditional cake walk, ugly man contest, and prettiest girl contest, and we’re working on a new activity if we get all the items needed beforehand. We’ll have some door prizes for those in attendance; you might just be a lucky winner. Afterwards, the fellowship and desserts are nothing but finger-lickin-good! Whew, I can almost taste Shirley’s pecan pie…and just thinking about Sondra’s carrot cake makes my mouth water. And wash that down with Jeanette’s Christmas punch, don’t get no better than that!

Last year we collected almost $750.00 and that enabled us to prepare 150 goodie sacks for our Christmas Gathering! Good work Turner Community supporters!

The program and distribution will be Saturday December 20th at 6:30 PM. I’m sure Luann and the 4-H kids will have a great treat for us, and maybe Santa will make another personal appearance.

Mark these days on your calendar, hope to see you all there. We are truly blessed to have a very concerned and hard working board, but this event is about you, about tradition, about a season to enjoy each other and our ability to share with the community.

Thank You. Linda Wilkinson

Welcome New Neighbors

New families moving into our community have been greeted with a welcome basket and a copy of the latest newsletter. These new neighbors are: Alan and Terri Jeffcoat on Friendly Lane, Bobby Q Pixley, Sherman Creek/Restful Drive, RC Butler of Restful Lane. Greet these folks and make a new friend.

From the Chairman’s Desk

Well, the holidays are now upon us and as we all get ready for the new year coming up, you know... saying bye to 2008 and Hello 2009. I have something to say.

Folks, I wish to say to each and everyone it has been an honor and privilege to serve our neighbors in Turner Community. The new chairman is Fred Peters, so help him as y’all have helped and volunteered with me.

Signing off... y’all friend,
Richard Mirus

Men’s Coffee Hour

Sometimes I would like to be a little mouse and be able to sit in on one of the men’s Monday morning coffee hours. If they have as much fun and can tell such tall tales as are told on game night, they must have a ball. They also get some work done to the community building. Look around the next time you visit the building and see what has been done. For more info call Jim Parker at 997-1228 or Fred Peters at 997-1952.

Homemade Goodies

We have had 3 sweet ladies who have stepped up, rolled up their sleeves, donned their aprons, turned up the heat and produced jams, jellies, preserves and breads for our Welcome Baskets. These ladies are Shirley Donnahue, Reba Peters, and Diane Parker. Thanks to these ladies we now have a variety of sweets for the baskets. Again, if you have any jelly jars or any small self-sealing jars, I would be interested as I am almost out. Call Jeanette Gibbs at 997-1582.

Rocky Top 4-H Club News

The Rocky Top 4-H Club held their Community Halloween Party on Oct. 31st. We had about 20 all together including parents. Which was o.k. considering it was right after school and a football game night. But next year be prepared for a real good fun time. The planning for it is already on the go and it promises to be a good time. So don't forget about us next year. It will be held the Saturday before Halloween and during the day like it was before. But Thank You to everyone who came and helped and provided candy.

Our next meeting will be Nov. 9th with our new Officers being sworn in and Nicki Taul will be conducting a Record Book Journal. For info on a club near you call 479-474-5286 and ask for Nicki Taul-4-H Agent, or call me at 217-0280.
