Mark Twain Fire

Kids, this weekend was a busy one.  We had two nights out at the Mark Twain Apartments Fundraiser out at Dukes and Boots.

Dukes & Boots is having a fundraiser to benefit the families that were displaced from the Mark Twain apartments tonight and tomorrow night (July 27 and July 28).  There will be a $5 cover at the door.  There will be other activities throughout the evening as well.  All money will be given to the American Red Cross and earmarked for disbursement to this tragedy only.

Last night was one of the first benefits for those of us who were displaced by the big fire at the Mark Twain Apartment complex.  It was held at the St Paul's Lutheran Church.

Usually there is a line that even the lowest criminal will not cross.  That line is the one that takes advantage of a tragedy. In the police report for July 26, 2012, there was one of those stories that points out that we have someone in this area who has stooped that low.

Well, first of all, I'd like to thank everyone for reading my last post about this.  This is going to be hopefully a much more uplifting post.

I don't think a lot of you noticed, but I haven't been posting many blogs this past few days.  I'm sure our Blog Boy wants to shake his finger at me for it.  But, the reason for that I think is a good one - I've undergone a bit of a personal tragedy recently. This may not be easy to read. I know it won't be easy to write.

Daisy Dukes and Cowboy Boots is now collecting items to aid the folks that woke up last Thursday morning without even a change of clothes.  To quote Dale Malone "We ask for furniture, kitchen items, clothing toys, pet food, home goods, towels etc... gift cards are great too!"
