All are invited to attend. We hope to see you there! Proceeds will go toward the senior class.

Cruise Night: The nights are just lovely lately, aren’t they? If you aren’t heading to the football game, swing by the Crestar parking lot to check out the classic cars and maybe have a Pops hot dog or two. These cars are coooool. From 5 to 8 p.m.

Smiles & Sangria for Sara: earlier this week. Sara, owner of Sundance Therapies on Main Street, has Hodgkins lymphoma and will undergo a month-long stem cell rescue treatment soon. To help with those costs not covered by health insurance, friends are holding a fundraiser for her on Sunday, at the EG Fireman's Hall at 5 p.m. There will be food, music, and a silent auction. $35. Tickets are available at Back to Basic, Sundance, and Cortney Shae nail salon or at the door.

EG Food Cupboard needs donations: People are hungry all year round, Chris and Steve Bartlett of the Food Cupboard remind us. Items especially needed are jars of jelly, baked beans, canned fruit, tuna, peanut butter, and cereals. The food cupboard is housed at St. Luke’s Church. You can leave food there during normal business hours.
