Safety might not be the first thing people think of as the holiday season approaches. Faith, celebrations, decorations, and holiday dinners all come to mind when considering the holiday season. But that doesn’t mean safety should be left out of holiday planning.
Again, it’s that time of year for the Hospice of Wichita Falls (HOWF) Tree of Lights campaign. The official launch date for the 36th annual campaign is Tuesday, Nov. 23. The tree lighting will be publicized live during the 6 p.m. weathercast on KFDX TV-3 and KAUZ TV-6. The tree is located on top of the Southwest Building on Kemp Boulevard in Wichita Falls.
Many of us are blessed with plenty of loved ones to celebrate the holidays. Lots of loved ones mean lots of gifts to open on that special and all too nostalgic day. But for the struggling addict, many times, all their bridges have been burned. It could take years before friends and family even talk to them. Until then (and even beyond), the House of Mercy (H.O.M.E.) board, other residents and staff are their family. We are the ones who encourage them to remain patient while on the “straight path” until that blessed day comes to reunite with loved ones.
The Olney Senior Cub Center celebrated veterans Thursday, Nov. 11, with a full program that included lunch and entertainment. The program began at 11 a.m. and ended after 1 p.m., but many guests remained at the Center to fellowship with one another.
