Welcome to our April 2008 Lonely Mountain Community Center Email Newsletter!
From Donny Toller LMCC Activities Director:
(Thanks to Linz Valley Peppey Products Distributors, LLC!)
Welcome to LMCC's April 2008 "email newsletter" We all know its been a bad weather winter. Lots of snow days which is good for the kids but it means that the last day of school this year is May 29th so we will be moving our summer day camp start back to June 9th. We're still looking for counselors so get in touch with Millie Wright if you are interested. More on the entire summer program in next months newsletter.
Probably the biggest frustration over the winter weather was in having to cancel the Linz Southern Mountain District 2-AA Basketball Tournament this March. Both the girls and boys teams (the Junior Miners) did great all season long and were really looking forward for a chance to show off a bit during the tourney. Special thanks to girls coach Connie Hawk Hawkins and boys coach Pete Smiles Smothers!
Speaking of basketball, we get a lot of great comments about our newly remodeled gym- its a great facility and its open to everyone on Sundays 1pm- 8pm. (other times too- check schedule) Once again our thanks to 'Heb' Brunner and 'Chick' at Burton Lumber!
You know its difficult up here when there's so many of us here dependent on the coal and we know we don't have any real new jobs to replace the coal jobs but our mountains cannot ever recover from what we are doing to them and this is a tough thing as its knocking us against each other. This is just to let everybody know that Lonely Mountain Community Center belongs to all of us and when we are here we all have to get along. Anyways enough preachin' for now- here's the news!
St. John 17: 3 and his life eternal, that they might know thee, thy only true God.....
