Gabriel Goode fundraiser June 18
The White Hall Community VFD fundraiser last Saturday was a bit slow. I’m not sure where the customers were but I would like to thank all the loyal people who always come to support our fundraiser. Next month we will have the BBQ sandwiches on July 2. If you wish to place your order for a whole brisket or pork, please order via our Facebook page or leave a message at 281-620-3546 no later than June 29.
The WHCVFD monthly business meeting was Monday, June 6, with 17 members present. There was very little to discuss so the meeting was short. It was still daylight when I went home.
June 18, from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. there will be a fundraiser event at 7D Ranch for Gabriel Goode, son of Preston and Brittany Goode. There will be auction items, tickets available, fun games for children, food, music and much more. Plates of food will be sold for $10 each. Gabriel is fighting a rare children’s cancer. His mom Brittany had to quit her job to be the caretaker. They have two other children, Cielo and Sylvia. If you can, go and help make this fundraiser a success. I am sure the family will appreciate your help and attendance.
Yes, there still are honest people in Grimes County. Somehow, I dropped three credit cards at the Walmart Pharmacy. Someone turned them in and the pharmacy called to tell me to come and pick them up. If you are the person, thank you so very much.
Union Grove Baptist Church is hosting a month-long VBS every Tuesday in June from 9 a.m. until 12:30 pm.
