This Week: This week’s speaker was Michael Barilla from the St Vincent de Paul Society. He described the mission of this society and how they give financial and spiritual help to the needy in our community. Even though they have only 8 active members, they helped 242 households in Fannin County last year! What a great thing they are doing!
Next Week: We are having our 5th Monday meeting next week at the fairgrounds. Wilda’s mom is cooking…YUMM! Come at 6:30 to socialize and the meal and meeting starts at 7pm. Please email me at rmcfarl@tds.net to RSVP. Let me know how many guests you will be bringing! See ya then!
Bingo: We made $1044 last week and this week is the Vannoy team. Let’s see if he can reach $1000!
50/50: Eddie’s name was drawn, but he didn’t win the $194 pot. Maybe next time…
Rodeo: Kevin gave us a rodeo report and first of all he wanted to thank everyone that helped bring this event to our community. While we had rain and a slow economy this year, we still made $$ to help Fannin families. We all feel that Kevin did a great job as usual, and hope he will continue to be our rodeo chair in the future. We should all give ourselves a pat on the back!
Notes: Remember that each member gets a meal at the Labor Day BBQ instead of a meeting.
Birthdays: Richard McClain 8/7; Mike Brennan 8/13
Kiwanis Anniversaries: No Kiwanis anniversaries in August…unless we sign Gary Keel up quickly!
Wedding Anniversaries: Wilda and Steve Dickey 8/7/81; Walt and Brenda Austin 8/19/84
