Mayor Gwen shares that the Bedias Civic Club won’t resume their monthly potluck at this time. Please go to the civic club Facebook page for updates. She also said because of the surge in COVID, including in our community, the Bedias Women’s Club has canceled their August, September, October and November activities. They will also delay the annual Country Market and Veterans Day Dinner until spring.
The museum board voted to delay opening the Bedias Library and Museum until after Labor Day weekend. Mackie said that the Bedias Library needs a few new volunteers.

Have you noticed the new building going up on Hwy 90, across from the Dollar General store? It looks like Bedias will be seeing a second dollar store, Family Dollar. What do you think of this, does Bedias need an additional dollar store?
Bedias area organizations are experiencing another COVID setback, please keep an eye out for announcements on the Bedias Civic Center bulletin board and also the bulletin board at the Bedias post office.
