Storms Fade over Southern Bee County

Saturday evening storm clouds resulted in an impressive sunset but brought little rain. Skidmore area lawns saw slight relief as the storms dropped about a quarter inch of rain in the area. The Sunday forecast predicts a 20% chance of thunderstorms so keep your fingers crossed!

Online Bookstore Lets You Browse by Cover Art

Caption

One of the best things about visiting a bookstore or library is the ability to browse the aisles - spotting random books that spark your interest. You walk through the door looking for a book on gardening and walk out with the "The Barbecue Bible." Well, someone has taken this concept and applied it to an online bookstore with impressive results. Check out Zoomii.com.

Skidmore-Tynan Lions Welcome Beeville Transfers

The Skidmore-Tynan Lions Club met Wednesday, June 18, 2008 to consider accepting members from Beeville's "Evening Lions," whose club recently closed its doors. Lion John "Rich" Richardson of the Beeville Evening Lions attended the meeting and announced his intention to transfer into the S-T Lions. Also in attendance were Lions Ann Duggins, President; Russell Duggins, Treasurer; Buddy Duge, Membership Chair; and Keith Petrus, Secretary.

Treasurer Russ Duggins reported a balance of $415.10 in the club administrative account and $949.52 in the project account. The Lions voted to have the club pay the $25 new membership fee out of the administration account to smooth the introduction of potential members. On the recommendation of Russell Duggins, the Lions agreed to sell the club's portable marque for $200. Other topics discussed at the meeting included the annual Punt, Pass, & Kick competition, Turkey Shoot, and Pancake Supper.

The next meeting of the Skidmore-Tynan Lions Club is scheduled Wednesday, July 2, 2008.
