Here's the second load of scrap metal collected by Billy McAbee, raising $110.40 for SNAP. The items came from the fine folks at B & G Tire, Edith Bennich, DeWayne Bennich, and Jay Rushen.
Billy came up with the idea of collecting and selling recyclable metal for SNAP. If you have ideas about ways to keep the donations coming in, please let me know. If needed, we can get several members together and determine how to make it happen.

I'll check with Billy to find out how extensive he wants to make the effort, for an email announcement from myself, each of you, and others involved might get a big response in a short time. Perhaps others with trucks and/or trailers will decide to do as Billy is doing. Hopefully, we can all discuss it during next week's meeting, if there's room on the agenda. I've asked Billy to join us, if he is available.

Tuesday of this week included "Christmas in July" at the SNAP Splash Pad. In the photos, Parks and Recreation Department workers Staci Segler and Heather Hemming substituted for Santa in leading the games. Here they are seen attaching shaving cream beards to party-goers. The beards were then "shaved" by use of water pistols at the hand of other participants.
Christmas in July is one of four parties being conducted at the Splash Pad on consecutive Tuesdays, from 2 PM until 4 PM. Last week's party was a Hawaiian Luau. Next week, "Recreation Celebration" will be based on various sports. The first Tuesday in August will see a Mexican Fiesta. As always, events at the Splash Pad are free and open to all members of the public, without reservations.
For further information, call the Sparkman Civic Center at 256-773-2581.
