Friends of Shepherd Library, a non-profit formed to help raise money for programs and events at the library, held a Time Warp Trivia Fundraiser in Methodist Fellowship Hall in Coldspring. Created by Vicki and Alli from the Library, it was a success and also a lot of fun. Participants chose an era they liked, dressed the part and of course, questions were centered on eras of last century and costumes of the 70s and 80s were popular.
•Rick and Terri dressed the part for this event and are also the leads in the other fundraiser of the Friends. Rick is President and of course Terri is the Library Administrator. The Board are all volunteers and the weekly Bingo on Sunday at Willis in the Knights of Columbus Hall is a lot of work for them. Call the Library at (936) 628-3515 for more info or go to the Facebook page.
•On Thursday morning at Woodland Park Nursing Home, Dr. Anita Wright and her team of helpers brought an interactive service with music and spiritual messages to the patients. Most were in wheelchairs but enjoyed the hour together. Treats, snacks and fruit were given and Gregg Cones entertained with his singing after the service as well as before. This is a monthly service from the Inspiring Hope Outreach Ministry.
•Both Chambers of Commerce are working hard to make their Christmas events successful. Shepherd will start on Dec. 5 in the Library Park with the Gazebo.
