Letters To The Editor

Big ‘thank you’
Dear Editor,

This is to say a big “Thank You” to the Clydesdale Christmas organization for the wonderful meal they fed the National Guard troops (current and retired) and their families on December 10.

This organization does so much and so many times their job is a thankless one. We want them to know how much we appreciate all the hard work each one did to give us this special treat.

May God bless each one of you who are a part of Clydesdale Christmas.

Jimmy and Gloria Fortner
National Guard Retired

Thank you
Dear Editor:

The Faithful Few Club would like to thank everyone who helped us with our program this year. We gave out presents to the needy in Byhalia.

On New Year’s Day we all have dinner in the home of Lillion Hughes.

Thanks everyone.
Lillion Hughes, Earnestine Brooks, and Lucille Webb
