Lanark News

            First thing - our Sunday covered dish is on the third Sunday of each month, at Chillas Hall. See I told you that we never know what is in store for us at the Thursday lunch at the Senior Center in Carrabelle.

            Last Thursday we helped Marie Denrah Gray celebrate her 93rd birthday with her and her children. Her son, Harry Gray, is from Tampa, daughter Mayme Gray Millender, from Carrabelle, and stepdaughter Maxie Gray Carroll, of Eastpoint. Marie may not be able to pull up the weeds in the front yard anymore, but sure enjoys a birthday party-and we do too. Hang in there, Marie!

            Members of The Ladies Guild of Sacred Heart Church will be serving coffee and pastry at the sale Saturday, Oct. 3. Stop by the church hall, browse, and enjoy your coffee with the ladies.

            Members of the Lanark Village Association will have breakfast at Chillas Hall in the village on Saturday, Oct. 3, with sale tables inside the hall, and outside in the parking lot across the street. Donations for the bake sale will be greatly appreciated. Enjoy! Lunch will be at The Lanark Village Boat Club. Members will serve seafood gumbo and members of the Lanark Village Association will serve hot dogs and hamburgers.

            On your October calendar, you need to mark Monday, Oct. 5, for the membership meeting of The Lanark Village Association. Gavel falls at 7 p.m. at Chillas Hall. Hope you can make it-and bring a friend.

            On Wednesday, Oct. 7 Bingo for the Bus will be at Chillas Hall. Doors open at 5 p.m. and bingo starts at 6:30 p.m. Coffee, soft drinks, and homemade cookies are available. Come join us!

            The new village and area phone books will be on sale at the Yard Sale this Saturday. The book covers The Village, Beach area, Gulf Terrace, and St. James. The books are $5 each. Be sure to support the advertisers. And thanks to Carol Daddona and Ailene Benson, who worked hard to put the book together.

            Be kind to one another and check in on the sick and housebound. Contrary to popular opinion, God’s last name is not Damn!

            Until next time, God Bless America, our troops, the poor, homeless, and hungry.
