Bedias Civic Club Easter Egg Hunt

Our wonderful Bedias Museum and Library is looking to offer monthly showings of Christian movies on the third Thursday evening starting in April. Please look for announcements on the library or Bedias Civic Center Facebook page. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend.
A few people have asked that we stop bringing to your attention the lack of progress reports regarding the murder of our neighbor, Anthony De’Milo Williams, Jr., last October. Five months seems to be a long time to receive a ballistics report and to share this case is being diligently pursued. Grimes County DA Office has shared limited updates on the case, sharing that a suspect was released on bond pending action by the GC Grand Jury, but they have not been forthcoming with any concreate steps to share more case information. Do you want us to drop Anthony from our concerns list and just let the GCSO do its’ thing without noting the embarrassment of its silence?
If you have questions about Darrell Hall roadway issues, and especially in Grimes County, please visit our Facebook Page, www.FixOurDarrellHallRoad@Facebook.com, and share your comments, concerns, and suggestions.

Mackie would like to welcome Bedias newcomers and introduce them to the community. Drop Mackie a note, mackiebobo44@ gmail.com, to learn more.
