Thank you to everyone who withstood the scorching heat to enjoy a great gospel concert Saturday evening. David Smith and George Parchman put on an exceptional show despite the heat. As soon as I have confirmation on our next event I will be letting you know.

A new organization formed in Haywood County this week. Hope for Haywood County Disaster Recovery Services is a long-term recovery group made up of local citizens including business and industry leaders who will continue the work of helping put back the pieces for flood victims after FEMA has left.

Have you heard about Dynametal's new website? They have a news and event page so the community, as well as their customers, can keep up with what's happening. Check it out at www.dynametal.com.

If you have children between 5 and 18, you might want to check out the OMG Youth Retreat at Faith Deliverance Church this weekend. Christ Church VBS begins Monday. Details in the calendar below.

Haywood Park Community Hospital will continue their diabetes education class "Journey for Control" Tuesday, July 6. If you plan to attend, contact Mary Ann Sharpe at 731-772-8411.

I know it's a little warm to be talking about deer hunts but the Hatchie National Wildlife Refuge wants hunters to know how to apply for this year's quota deer hunts. Check out the news page for details.

Just a quick reminder: don't forget about the Retirement Reception honoring Mayor Webb Banks and Vice-Mayor Joe Taylor Tuesday, June 29, from 4-6 p.m., at the First South Community Room.
