FARM PICTURES
The Historical Society is looking for some pictures from the early farming days for the history book. If you have any of local farmers with their horses and early farm equipment it would be greatly helpful.

ANNIVERSARY
Happy Anniversary wishes are sent to Jeff and Sue Wilson who will be celebrating their wedding anniversary on March 5th.
WAR MEMORIAL
Most residence should have received a letter from the Lilly/Washington War Memorial Association who are now conducting their annual fund drive. These men and women put a lot of time and effort into maintaining a first class recreation area for the community and any financial support you can give is greatly appreciated. .The War Memorial members also welcome any help a person can render at the field. There is always grass to cut, weeds to remove and painting chores to do.
REMINDER
I always welcome items to write about. Just call me at 886-4694 or e-mail pappyjack56@aol.com. I try to keep up on community happenings but miss many especially in these winter months were I don’t venture out as much.
With that said I am looking forward with great anticipation to spring. Seeing snow out the kitchen window is getting old and I would rather see the flowers blooming and the trees in bud. Have a nice week.
