The 7th annual Birthday Bash at the White Hall Community Center was successful. Thanks to all the people who took time to come share their beautiful cars.

If you have not been to the annual Relay for Life celebration, I would encourage you to add that to your calendar next year. Kay Harris and Trisha Tate Harris, a White Hall resident, lead these efforts to honor people affected by cancer. I have said many times but seeing all the luminaire bags with names of people that I knew and the survivors that I know can be sad.
