Greetings

The flags are flapping in the wind today as the atmosphere gathers energy for the upcoming storms.  We still need the rain and we hope it is gentle and slow so the ground can soak it up. Our prayers go out to all those people around the Dallas area who were hit by the tornadoes and high winds. 

Finally, you have probably realized that we only have nine more Saturdays before Christmas! That means the Christmas decorations will start showing up and the shopping for gifts will become less leisurely and more selective.  Check out all of our local businesses for those unique and special gifts. Shopping local is one of the best ways to support your community, helping to ensure all of our businesses can continue to support our non-profits, youth, and other civic organizations. Take the time to visit businesses in and around Giddings to find exactly what you are looking for in a gift. 

Have a great day!

Denice Harlan, PCED, IOM
