WELDING CLASSES
For those interested, we will have a meeting at Big Bend Church Monday August 29 to begin the new welding classes.  We will meet at 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.in the fellowship hall of the church.
What is it we will be doing?
1.  I will share what we were able to get done over the summer. Just a few minutes of your time for this.
2.  We will see where we are in plans and projects.  If we have a lot of interest from people who have not welded or used a torch before this will have an affect on what we do.  We will also discuss materials needed and their acquisition for any who have projects in mind.
3.  The only work that we will do will be no more than unload my equipment.

FLOOD WARNING FOR   THE RIO GRANDE AT CASTOLON.

SISSY is a sweet, sweet dog looking for direction. She needs someone with time, treats and lots of love to give. She is a little reserved now, but we wouldn’t be surprised if she opens up into a bounding dog who loves to play. She is very well mannered, has a gorgeous soft coat, and can sniff out the treat in your pocket from afar. Sissy is spayed, microchipped and up to date on all shots.  She, and all the other pets at the Alpine Animal Shelter, can be found on Petfinder at: https://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?shelter_id=TX1202 Any questions or for more info, email heatherthemule@gmail.com
