January, 2007
Random acts of kindness happen today & every day in our hometown.
Here is one!
Bingo Babes and Boys enjoy the game and each other at Wellborn Methodist Fellowship Hall every Wednesday for 2 hours.
Usually after Bingo they take home a tray lunch, like Meals on Wheels only it is their own wheels.
January 16 the WUMC hall is where the AARP Income Tax Preparers 5 day school starts.
Bingo Babes and Boys became displaced and homeless just for the day. Suzanne and Donald Bridge are the church members who invited Babes and Boys for Bingo to the church hall over a year ago. Suzanne's best friend is Dolores Davis who lives downtown Wellborn and when she feels well enough Dolores is the Hostess with the Mostest in our hometown.
Dolores felt well enough and she invited the Bingo Babes and Boys to her home for Bingo AND for a Dolores Davis luncheon. Lucky them!
I wish you could have seen the twinkle in her eye as she told she is calling todays game "Mystery Bingo". Instead of having winners just choose from a miscellaneous collection of small items displayed on one of the church tables, Mystery Bingo prizes are attractively wrapped as gifts. Picture the smiles all around. :-)
Here is another!
Come to think of it the "students" at the tax school are preparing themselves for many hours of kindnesses in helping folks through the income tax season looming ahead. They set up computers and offer expertise at sites in both Live Oak (at the library Saturdays and the Community Presbyterian Church Tuesdays)and in Lake City too. (364-8396 Linda Young, Coordinator, or 963-5023, G.J. Wilson FYI)
LOST & WANTING TO BE FOUND 2 dogs, males. One is little black, with a white chest, answers to Sugar and is a member of Dolly Perkins (963-2202)multi-dog household in the vicinity of CR137 and 252. The other dog is middlesized and reddish brown and belongs to Aaron Sellers living in the same neighborhood.
There go the buried gas tanks from in front of Wellborn Convenience store on CR137. The store is closed. Many convenience store shoppers will miss the store, but everyone praises and thanks whomever is behind this environmentally responsible decision to dig those tanks out of the ground and eliminate possible ground contamination from them. Did you know that Wellborn in its prime (first half of the 1900's)boasted half a dozen gas stations/convenience stores? FYI "Wellborn My Hometown" , a paperback history booklet.
