Briefly
• GCHS Homecoming is slated for Sept. 22. Prior to the 7:30 game, a hamburger supper will be served in the school cafeteria. There will be NO SATURDAY LUNCHEON this year. Ex-students voted last year to hold the Saturday luncheon every other year in odd numbered years.
• Glasscock County Senior Citizens will meet Aug. 15 at 6 p.m. Bring sandwiches or homemade ice cream. For the Sept. 5 meeting, Senior Citizens will furnish fried chicken, so bring something to go with this. Everyone 50 years or older is invited to attend. The group meets the first and third Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m. in the Senior Citizens’ building.
• Dear family, friends, and residents of Glasscock County, words cannot express our sincere thanks and gratitude for the outpouring of love shown us during our recent “situations” (apartment fire and wedding). Thank you for making our wedding day perfect with all your help, and your gifts of prayer and money. Your kindness is truly appreciated. May God bless you all! -----Adam & Tiffany Wheat Parker
• The David Friessen family and the Garden City Lions Club thank everyone who donated their time or money at the recent fundraiser.

Special thanks to Katy Multer and Stetson Hillger who got the ball rolling by collecting more than $1,000 by going door to door and placing donation jars at local businesses.
