These businesses represent all areas of the community and boasts retail,

all in the business outlook of our community, please join the celebration
Tuesday at 5:30 p.m., and learn what all the excitement is about. And don’t
forget to SHOP BROWNSVILLE FIRST!!! No recipe this time. Please e-mail your favorites so we can keep
the exchange going. Spring Break begins Monday. I’m taking a cue from the
school system and taking a little spring break, too. I’ve tried to cover all
that I know about for the next two weeks and I’ll see you again on Friday,
March 30. Spend Tuesdays with Morrie this Saturday and have a fun
St. Patrick’s Day. Don’t forget Vacation Bible School at Poplar Corner
Baptist Church this coming week. ~ Sonia |
