TERLINGUA MOON

by Terlingua Thinking Team

“I wanted to take mental illnesses and emotional disorders out of the closet, to let people know it is all right to admit having a problem without fear of being called crazy. If only we could consider mental illnesses as straightforwardly as we do physical illnesses, those affected could seek help and be treated in an open and effective way.” - Rosalynn Carter

FUNDRAISER PROCEEDS
We would like to shout out a BIG thank you to everyone that participated in the 2nd annual Haunted House and made it a success.   Also, thank you everyone that came out and supported us.  Our goal this year was $2,000.00, we made $1,370.00.  The money will be split between our Crisis Center and towards a Scholarship at Terlingua CSD.  Again, thank you, Terlingua Community, for your generous support.
