On the second Thursday of each month, there will be an opportunity for kids! CHILDREN’S SONGS & STORIES will be coming for children, ages 2-7, or for any who love to read and sing! The URBAN PIONEERS, Liz Sloan McGovern and Jared McGovern, invite you to attend at the Woodson Town Hall from 5-6 p.m. This will be a FREE monthly event. Donations for the new community center would be welcome! The next session is Sept. 8!

If you have gently used or new shoes, get them to Angela Miles! Drop them off at the hardware store in Woodson, or at the FSB in Throckmorton. This is our BOOSTER CLUB FUNDRAISER. When 2,500 pairs of shoes have amassed, Woodson will earn $1,000. Clean the closet, earn money for WISD kids, and send shoes to folks who need them! What great opportunities!

Start saving your old towels! Claire Ellis will be conducting a towel drive for the animal shelters and a wildlife refuge. More next week! Bleach for cleaning will also be needed.

Burl Moses passed from this world into the next last week. He will be sorely missed here in Woodson and in Throckmorton County. His services were at 10 a.m. Wednesday, graveside in Throckmorton. What an honest, kind, caring gentleman. He lived his life in service to others. Please pray for Frances and his family.
