The Next Thing You Need to Know:
Tracy Kumer (I'm not sure about the spelling of her last name, but that's how you pronounce it) at the Morgan Food Pantry is accepting Thanksgiving Day dinner food items (canned veggies, boxed stuffing, hams, turkeys, roll mixes, cranberry sauce, pies, etc.), and an Eagle Scout at Ridley’s is also collecting T-day food.  Call the City for the Food Pantry hours (829-3461).  Gather your family together and plan how your family can help!
DON'T GET A TICKET!!!
Mountain Green Elementary School principal, Tom McFarland, has expressed concern that many parents are not following the rules for the “round about” by MGES, and asked for the sheriff department to give attention to this area.  So PARENTS!  BE AWARE and obey the "round about" traffic rules!

And Last-But-Definitely-Not-Least
Happy Veterans Day to all of Our Veterans!  You are appreciated and valued in our Morgan County community.  Thank you for serving our country and making sacrifices in your families and in your personal lives to preserve our nation and to protect our freedoms that we take so often for granted.  God bless you, and God bless America!
