September is almost here! Many organizations will return this month after the summer hiatus. Coldspring Garden Club will start the new season on September 3 at 1.30 PM at Coldspring Community Center. President Rhonda Sherling will start the meeting with discussion on the plans for the year, the theme is ' Growing Stronger, Growing Together'. We will be playing 'Flower Bingo', everyone is asked to bring a plant for prizes. If you would like more information on the club email Coldspringgardenclub@gmail,com.
Women's League of San Jacinto County will start the following Thursday at 11.30 AM in the same location. Lunch catered by Mary Gray Catering and guest speakers Sheriff Sam Houston and his team will inform the guests of current news. Please confirm your reservation nearer the time.
Both Senior Centers of our county are busy planning events. Last Friday was Fish Friday for Coldspring Senior Center sponsored by Commissioner Crystal Dominy. Thank you Commissioner! Mayor John Benestante, his wife Judi with their granddaughter and her baby enjoyed the lunch as did everyone there. It was a full house with musical entertainment from DJ Ken Janik and Gregg Cones. Table decorations were imaginative and beautifully sewn runners by Johne Engleman with a 'Back to School' theme.
Gregg also sang at Shepherd Senior Center on Wednesday. Administrator Jennifer Strickland announced the upcoming visit from Olive Branch Hospice Rep. Amanda, explaining and signing up those interested in Power of Attorney documents. The recent Purse Bingo Fundraiser was a success with a full house of attendees. (Sorry about the pun!)
Kolton Purvis and his soon to be wife Faith Hartman donated a lot of business books to Shepherd Library last week. Director Terri is going to create a special section for them since the library only had two such business type books. Congratulations to the couple and many blessings to them!
Shepherd Chamber of Commerce will restart the Community Market in October. Hopefully the weather will be more suitable for outdoor markets by then! Text the Chamber if you would like to be part of this venture for small and home based businesses as well as non-profits wishing to let people know of their goals.
