The women's group, the Clarkettes, is meeting every second and fourth Tuesday at the Rec Center.  This is a time of fellowship and learning.  To learn more, call Nicole Connell, or get in touch with Rec Center Coordinator, Raquel Canny.

The "Spring Ding" was a success.  Thank you to Shirley Bentley who planned and put it together, and thank you to all who helped and attended.

     With spring showing itself, many of us want to get outside and get the dead foliage raked up and either tossed or burned.  Many will be burning ditches and fields.  Fire can be a tool, but it can also be a monster.  There are steps to take to keep your fire under control.

     1. If the wind is blowing, wait for a calmer day to burn. 

     2. If you will be burning a large amount, call the sheriff's office and let them know.  

     3.  Before you strike the match, have a good source of water.  A 2-3 gallon weed sprayer will work. 

     4. Light into any breeze, and let the fire back into it instead of being driven by it. 

     5. Light only what you can control; don't get too spread out.

     6. Wet down spots that you do not want to burn.

     7. When your burn is complete, make sure all embers out out--drown them. 

The Annual Meeting will be held on the first Saturday of November.
