Some days, we get to meet and speak with those people are helping. The last two Fridays have been such days. This Spring, we've given scholarships of $3000 each to ten SBISD students. Below is a photo including Sheila and some of our recipients.

On Saturday, July 4th, the Memorial Villages are hosting the 23rd Annual Villages Independence Festival. The Festival includes a program which focuses on family, neighbors, and patriotism. The event is free to all.
The Festival begins with a parade at 9:00 a.m., from Memorial Church of Christ on Gaylord Drive to the Memorial Drive Baptist Church grounds at 325 North Piney Point Road (the site of the Festival). Parade participants may ride in their decorated cars, on bicycles or skates, or in wagons or you may enter a float. The parade is followed by games, food, and entertainment until 1:00 p.m. At that time, the Fire Department cools down the crowd with their traditional Fire Truck "spray."
As usual, we will have a booth at which we'll be cutting watermelons and giving pieces of them away. We'll have more details soon on where to park and when to arrive. This is a very fun event at which to volunteer. It's also a great opportunity to invite folks to hear the great speakers at our meetings.
