To My Dear Fellow Community Members: 

 

I am thinking about Our Community donating to the Hurricane recovery $2000.   We can afford the donation and the board has approved of the move.  What do you think?

 We are in the process of selecting a trustworthy partner and one where the executives are not receiving inflated salaries.   At the moment we are considering smaller, more local groups like The Houston Mayor's special recovery fund just set up and the Houston Food Bank

 We can talk about this Sunday or you may text me or Rosemary, or send an email.

 

Thanks, John

We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve years telling them to sit down and shut up.

True? 

Once upon a time a man whose axe was missing  suspected his neighbor's son. The boy walked like a thief, looked like a thief, and spoke like a thief. But the man found his axe while digging in his garden, and the next time he saw his neighbor's son, the boy walked, looked and spoke like any other child.
