I mentioned a while back that I was working on some changes to All About Brownsville. Those changes include a new look for this newsletter and the website. Some of you will notice the newsletter changes this week. It will take several weeks before all of you are receiving the new format. As you see the changes, let me know what you think. And don’t forget to keep sending recipes and your event info for the community calendar.

 

Suddenly the town is painted flamingo pink. Have you seen them? InSouth Bank's Relay for Life "You've Been Flocked" fundraiser is going well and will continue through April. So there's still time to have a friend, or anyone else, "flocked" - call Linda, 779-1141, or Heather, 779-1157.

 

There’s a Relay for Life Silent Auction going on at First South Bank. Now through May 4, you can bid on a handmade quilt, 2 pillows and a carry bag. The quilt is on display at the bank, or call Tina Evans for more information, 772-2919.

 

This week's recipe is Grilled Cornish Game Hen. I'm looking forward to trying this recipe. I love Cornish hen, but have never tasted it grilled.

 

For the energy conscious among us (and I hope there are many), the movie premier of "Kilowatt Ours" is this Sunday at First United Methodist Church. It promises easy answers to dramatically reducing your energy bill.
