Recommendations

What have you read or what shows have you seen lately? Email any and all recommendations to newsinfayettevllle@ gmail.com. Mayor Mike recommends the book “Hill Country” by Janice Woods Windle. “It’s a firsthand look at Texas politics of the ‘40s, 50s, and ‘60s, from the settling of the Texas Hill Country to Austin, culminating with LBJ. It presents all kinds of life experiences. Her mother killed a rattlesnake in her kitchen with a skillet. The story is derived from a diary she found in her attic.” Grace Frugé highly recommends the movie “80 For Brady.”

Food Pantry

The Central Texas Mobile Food Pantry will be at St. John on Wednesday, July 12 from 10 to 11 a.m. Volunteers are needed. This will no longer be a drive-thru food distribution. Clients will walk up to the entrance and are asked to bring bags or carts for pickup.

Be Careful

Please refrain from disposing of cigarette butts through the window while driving. They are causing fires in this hot, dry air.
