NEWS & UPDATES

DCPL NEWS & UPDATES Dimmit County Public Library continues to offer educational programs for community members of all ages. We had great success with the BLOOM & DISCOVER SPRING BREAK READING PROGRAM for our students. This week, we continue planning for the GROWING AND NOURISHING HEALTHY COMMUNITIES, a gardening series designed for older adults who enjoy learning, gardening, and connecting over coffee. The series will take place at DCPL on Thursdays from, April 2 to May 7 at 10:00-11:00 A.M. Participants can look forward to an engaging presentation, hands-on experiences, and follow-up care for the garden. Please RSVP at 830-876-5788 to reserve your spot and ensure adequate supplies. As the library prepares for its Summer Reading Program, community support is essential. As a non- profit organization , Dimmit County Public Library welcomes monetary donations to help make the program a success for children across the county. In addition, the library relies on community volunteers to maintain status as a State Accredited Library. Since the summer program serve school-age children, all volunteers must complete a background check prior to participation. Applications are available at the library, and processing may take several days, so early sign-up is encouraged! Meanwhile, community members continue to enjoy the Mini News and the Citizens’ State Bank Resources in our Memory Lane Section . These historical materials have drawn many community seniors to the Sr. Citizen Corner.

GRAND OPENING—There was plenty of parking space in downtown Carrizo last Tuesday morning, about 9 o’clock, as it seems if everyone was in the vicinity of 5 th St. and W. Nopal to attend the Grand Opening of the huge all-new H.E.B. organization. Chamber of Commerce President Guy Fambrough was the Master of Ceremonies and introduced the speakers who gave praises for this addition to our city and area. On hand for the occasion was Mrs. H.E. Butt and her son, Charles Butt, who heads the huge chain store operation. Mrs. Butt introduced several key personnel of the organization and heaped paise on the local manager, Bennie Martinez, who thanked the people of his trade area for helping opening day a reality.
