Thought for the Week

Actually a marriage in which no quarreling at all takes place may well be one that is dead or dying from emotional undernourishment.  If you care, you probably fight.

Board of Directors Meets Tomorrow

The monthly meeting of our club’s Board of Directors will be tomorrow, Aug. 4, Noon, at the Weldon Public Library conference room.  Please bring your lunch and join your club leadership for their meeting.

Help Register Students

Mary Elizabeth Bell is asking for members to help her staff signup tables at the Elementary School for K Kids and at the Martin Middle School for the Builder’s Club.  She needs help tomorrow morning, Aug. 4, during the school registration times.  If you can volunteer some time Thursday morning, please see Mary Elizabeth.

Suitcases for Kids Project

     The Suitcases for Kids Project, sponsored by the Reelfoot Regional Association of Realtors is collecting gently used and new suitcases for foster care children through September 1st.  Aubyn Burnside, Hickory NC is founder of this national community service project. 

      Many foster care children carry their belongings in a black garbage bag.  Each child averages 7 moves while in foster care. 

      Can you help?  Bring your used suitcases, large duffel bags or backpacks to Fuller Partners 203 University St or call Michele 514-0628 for pickup.  Hard or soft luggage is acceptable.  Thanks for helping a child less fortunate than you.
