Equality & NIxburg News
Jennifer Williamson
My husband and I have been out of state to attend a funeral, and it was not an easy trip. With airline delays, the indifferent airline staff, overhearing staff admit they were lying to travelers, having to change our destination airport, renting cars, and driving for three extra hours in order to get to the funeral just as it began…
I spent some time with an old friend, and we both fell in love with Hamilton, Montana, in the spring. Most likely though, I would NOT be able to cope with a Montana winter, but at this time of the year, the snow-capped mountains and valleys dotted with herds of buffalo are amazingly beautiful.
Equality Methodist Church has invited the community to its Church Revival this Sunday, May 21, at 5 p.m. Brother Wayne Cowhick will be preaching, with singing by Scott Blake. Refreshments will be served. All are welcome, so please come out and join them.
Equality Performing Arts Center (EPAC) has karaoke tonight Friday, May 19. While it is not mandatory, you are encouraged to bring a dish of shareable food for our “potluck,” and if you can afford to drop something into the donation jar for the music, it helps keep the lights on. The EPAC provides free coffee, iced tea, water, and fresh-popped popcorn.
The next Equality Neighborhood Watch Meeting is on the fourth Thursday, May 25. Come and hear what is happening in the community, as well as enjoy some food and fellowship. Bring a dish to pass if you wish, but not mandatory or expected.
I know that I mention the Equality Volunteer Fire Department (EVFD) every week, but I do so for the simple reason that they are absolutely needed by our community. There are still a few fundraising tickets available for pork ribs and pork butts for Memorial weekend.
You can contact a board member for your tickets. Boston butts are $35, and ribs are $30. Also, do not forget everyone is welcome to attend their first and third Monday training meetings, even if only to just watch the firefighters do their training.
Also, still regarding fundraising, my husband, Rodger, is seeking donations to sponsor his efforts with this year’s “Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride.” The DGR is an annual worldwide event, done in conjunction with the “Movember Foundation,” to raise funds, and awareness, for prostate cancer and men’s mental health. Additional information and donations can be made at: www.gfolk.me/AlaBeemer.
I depend upon my readers to share with me what is happening within your organizations, churches, neighborhoods, groups, or family to share in next week’s column. Please contact me; call or text 256-531-6460 or email at coosacafe@gmail.com.
