WHITE BIRD -- We had a fun-filled weekend, once again. The lighted Christmas parade was great. Thank you, Carrie Marek, for organizing that for us. Thank you to the chamber for the setting up the park and providing the fire and food. Thank you, Kelly, for doing such a good job announcing the parade. Thanks to all the people in the parade, especially the ones who came from other towns.
The cribbage tournament at the Silver Dollar on Saturday brought 18 people. Real took first and Debra got second place. Crib starts at 2 p.m. on next Saturday.
The Christmas program will be this Saturday, Dec. 17, at 6:30 p.m. If you are able to, bring a small door prize. Either homemade, under $10, or "re-gifted." Door prizes are fun! The kids have been working really hard, and I can't wait for you to see what we've come up with this year. After the program we will have the White Bird jam band playing music for us. Since there isn't any beverages at the hall, feel free to bring your own. Parents are always having to walk across the street to get drinks for themselves or for the kids, leaving their children unattended. This year, just bring your cooler and that won't happen.
There are still plenty of veteran memorial plaques that need sponsors. If you know a local veteran who you would like to sponsor call Rhea at 839-2445. If you don't know what I'm talking about, the Rebekahs have created a veteran's memorial for the hall. It's a board with small gold plaques on it. The plaques cost very little to get engraved, (sponsored), and there are still plenty of veterans around here whose names are not on the board yet. Also, there is a memorial in the cemetery with the names of veterans who either used to live here, or who have passed, or moved away, or who have no family left around here.... etc., who deserve to have their names on the Rebekahs' memorial also. If any of you could step up and sponsor those veterans also, it would be greatly appreciate. Feel "free" to do this for your veterans.
Happy birthday this week to: Nancy Marek, Juanella Cash, Janet Henderson, Ed Hagen, Monica Lucarelli, Chris Black, Nora Deasy, Sandi Freund, Mariah Harvey, Eloy Pineda, Kyle Meacham, Chelsey Brumley, Shannon Vanderesch and Amelia Fehrenkamp.
