Cross Point Community Church Block Parties

Cross Point Church organized a group of us that went out today door to door in the Meadow Creek community, near Town North Dr, delivering invitations and personally inviting households to a block party.
Saturday 21st @ 6PM is the Meadow Creek block party.

Thursday 19th we'll be going around the Country View Manor Apartments to invite neighbors to that block party.
Friday 20th @ 6PM is the Country View Manor block party.

Both parties will have Bounce Houses for the kidos and popcorn. The snowcones will be great in this dissipating heat we've had. Tables will be stocked with poured drinks and food. Hotdogs and hamburgers will be served.

On behalf of First Baptist Church and Labor for Your Neighbor, I say thank you to Cross Point Church for inviting us to help make this an exciting event.

Crappie Anglers of Texas

From our home in Terrell, a Terrell Outdoors enthusiast and myself went to Carollton, TX where the Crappie Anglers of Texas hold their monthly meetings at the public Library. A guest speaker, Todd Long, told about his two year long jounrey to become a Game Warden. He is one of two in Collin county. I didn't know that you need a degree in Wildlife to become a park ranger. He's very excited to finally have graduated and be sworen in.
The crowd at the meeting was a lively bunch, trading fish stories and telling of their latest water excursions. I spoke before them about the Terrell Outdoors Expo & Banquet. Many picked up our brochures, while some grabbed posters to hang at their hot-spots. We have our fingers crossed for some of their sponsors to join us.
It's going to be a fun-filled and educational family-event.
