Seniors Officially Open New Building
By Jo Ann Turner
A ribbon cutting ceremony was held Sunday April 30, officially presenting the Glasscock County Senior Citizens Building to the community.
The program was opened with an invocation by Rev. Al Stiefer, pastor of First Baptist Church. The pledge of allegiance was led by Cub Scout pack #113 and leaders Jim Havlak, Veronica Schroyer and Jennifer Jansa. Brenda Davis gave a short speech stating that she and her family were glad to be a part of this by donating the land and this was home.
Mrs. Davis and County Judge Wilburn Bednar cut the ribbon and senior citizens served refreshments.
A drawing for the raffle was held, and a picnic stool table, made and donated by Cecil Halfmann, was won by Diann Schwertner. A quilt, made and donated by Jonnie Cypert was won by Brenda Davis. A western throw, donated by Doris Schwartz, was won by Chris Halfmann.
The senior citizens would like to thank everyone in the community for their help and support. They want the community to know that the building is for community use. There is a rental charge for private parties such as showers, birthdays, etc. Tax-free entities, such as 4-H and Lions Club may use it without cost. Everyone needs to schedule their meetings with Jo Ann Turner, 354-2383. She has the calendar and a key.
Thank you again, Glasscock County folks, for your support.
