MAYOR'S CORNER
| |
Greetings!  If you missed seeing Santa at Hidden Falls this past Sunday, you missed seeing a long line of our children visiting with the best Santa (and Mrs. Claus) EVER! The food was delicious, and the crowd seemed to really enjoy the amazing decorations. If you have not yet seen them, make it a point to visit the Hidden Falls Restaurant soon! And if you put your radio dial on 88.1 when you are in front of Hidden Falls, the new Christmas lights will put on a special show...or so I've heard...I've not been by after dark yet!
I want to be sure everyone knows that the maximum speed allowed in Meadowlakes is 25 MPH. One of the local papers misunderstood and published a story indicating it is 30 MPH. In a few areas, the speed limit drops to 10 MPH. We are so lucky to have such a safe and friendly neighborhood, where speeding and failing to stop at STOP signs are our primary problems.
I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and an absolutely wonderful New Year!

HELPING CENTER VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
| | |
The Helping Center is looking for a few good folks.....
The Helping Center is headed into their busiest time of the year and they are finding themselves a little short handed. The illness of a key volunteer has left a lot of slack in their days.
The Helping Center is the local food pantry for many people in our area. The current need for volunteers is over a wide range of talents. The greatest is for folks (male or female) to stock shelves and fill bag orders. There is also an ongoing need for data entry and filing. If there is someone around that has talent in website design, they could use some of your time also. The Helping Center is located just down Avenue N at the intersection with Broadway so you could be there in less than 5 minutes from the time you walked out of the house. Their hours are 10 am to 12 noon Monday thru Friday, 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm Monday thru Thursday and closed on Friday afternoons. Stop by and talk to Sam Pearce and see what talents you have to offer. Better yet, take a friend or neighbor along! The main thing to remember is that they will take whatever time you have to offer, from hours daily to minutes weekly. They are located at 1315 Broadway St, right across from Janie's Mexican Restaurant. Phone 830-693-5689
