8/11/14

Well, I have been away & last week was a very busy week, so I haven’t searched out much news! I did want to say “thank you” to all of those who supported the Tyson Ladies Aid Bazaar by donating items, buying them, & working there – it was a huge success! Funds that are raised go back into the community in various ways: supporting the Tyson Library, school scholarships, joint help with Tyson Church for the monthly Reach Out Luncheon, & meeting many other community needs.

Also, how wonderful that our town was the site of the Oath of Allegiance taken by so many people who became citizens of the USA on 8/11/14. At a time when many people are unhappy with the way things are happening here, it is a important reminder of the freedom & good things things that happen in our country, too. We are blessed!
