Accolades to all who participated in this past weekend’s production of Make We Merry.

I promised to remind you about “Pet Pictures with Santa”. Next Sunday, December 14, the Animal Rescue Fund (ARF) will provide an opportunity to have your pet fulfill a lifelong dream and have its picture taken with Santa Claus himself. The TSC store, on US-131, on the west side of Three Rivers, is the place to be from 1 to 4 P.M. Cost for this memorable event is $10 for one pet and $2 for each additional pet in the picture. If you’re looking for that perfect gift, look no further. Fido will cherish the moment and Miss Kitty will love it for all of her nine lives. Need more information?

Friends are a very important to me. At times, we forget to let our friends know how much they are appreciated and loved. Lion Bill Smith passed away last week. I tried to let him know how much I appreciated everything he did for Lions. He was my friend, and I’m sure he knew that. It was indeed an honor to work with him, and we will miss him.
See you Out and About.
