Donna
Larson is one very happy lady this week! She won the big pot at bingo for $1199
Friday night. A lot of us were close but she was the lucky one! Congratulations
Donna.
I
guess we are all lucky around the area as we all got some much needed rain. We
managed to get .65 while others got more and others got less.

Breaking
News….First day of school for North Shore Plaza is August 23. I hate to hear when school starts as it means
summer is coming to a close. I just hope we have nice warm temps for quite a
while yet.
I guess this is going to be a very short
news column as I have nothing to share! I missed the Ryder Cemetery meeting on
Thursday night and I haven’t heard a word about it except that I did hear that
there were maybe 10 people there and that’s all I heard.
