June 2 Edition

Matthew 19:14 "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven."

Happy birthday to: Dustin Gann (June 1).

Happy anniversary to Jimmy and Wanda Howard (June 2).

Summer is almost upon us. Seems like yesterday we were begging for Spring. Now we're begging for drier weather.

The Fire Department will be holding Firefighter Intro classes June 16-17 and the 19th from 6-10pm at the fire station. All firefighters are reminded the June meeting will be on the 12th at 6:30pm.

If you came by the New Edinburg Community Center last Friday to meet the commodities truck, you no doubt discovered that it failed to appear. I have no idea why.

Around 75 people attended this year's Marks family reunion. Mrs. Frankie Hall reports two Union and two Confederate re-enactors were present along with historian Rufus Buie. The meat was good and so was the fellowship.

The traditional music show the night before was provided by Brothers 189, a local band comprised of Jimmy Pennington, Don Pennington, Robert Dyer (Pennington), and Mike Brumley (Pennington) and was joined by Bubba Golden. I came by to listen to the band and thought they were excellent. If you need a country/rock band for your event, give these guys a try... you'll enjoy them.

The New Edinburg All-School Reunion is coming up soon... this year it will be July 5 from 10:30am until 2:00pm at the school building. If you attended NES or taught there, please come.
