There was so much happening this weekend that I could not take it all in my brain or in stride. There was the community-wide garage sale at Westwood Shores, a car show downtown, and the Kalin Center fundraiser at the Manor Saturday Night.
I guess the biggest feat was the amount of money the Kalin Center raised to support the organization located in Crockett. Pictures of the event were posted online announcing that they had raised $125,000 at this gala. Congratulations to the volunteers and their donors.
•On Easter Sunday, the Trinity Volunteer Fire Department had a fabulous Fish Fry and would like to thank everyone who attended and supported this event. The benefit made more than $9,000 in contributions. Thank you Trinity.
•The Trinity Lions Club Classic Car Show was a wonderful event also. The weather was threatening during the morning hours, but by afternoon, the crowd was growing. Beautiful cars, trucks, and two old antique firetrucks were on display, and the event benefitted the Trinity Lions Club’s charities and scholarships for TISD Seniors for this school term 2025-2026.
April 18, is the TISD Junior/Senior Prom.
