Do you want to help kids in our area have a bright Christmas?  You may donate new, unwrapped toys in the large TOYS for TOTS box located in the lobby of the Murray State Bank and at Murray Building and Supply.

Right now, jot down a couple of extra toys on your list for when you do your 'Black Friday' shopping, then stop by either location and drop them in the box.

The children thank you!

A BIG THANK YOU!

I would like to say thank you to all for my recent benefits, both the pancake feed and the Eagles fundraiser.  I truly appreciate those individuals, groups and businesses who generously donated items for the meal, silent and live auctions, door prizes, bake sale goodies and the music.  I'm grateful, too, for those who spent their time planning and working at these events.  I enjoyed them both so much and from the bottom of my heart, I can't thank you enough for all you've done.  You mean the world to me! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
