Barbara Barr's Column

TCA board meeting: The Taylorstown Citizens Association's board meeting will be on Tuesday, Oct. 10 at 7 p.m. at the Taylorstown Store. One of the items on the agenda will be a discussion about whether or not to proceed again this year with the Taylorstown calendar for 2007. Please express your opinion to members of the board before Oct. 10.

Families stick together: After Tami Carlow's recent surgery, she and the girls went to New Jersey to stay with her parents for three weeks. Now, Tami's parents and her husband's parents are visiting with her in Taylorstown in help with the girls among other things. Of course, the parents also enjoy being able to spend time with their grandchildren.

Support group: The support group for those who have lost a loved one recently had a delightful lunch at The Grill in Purcellville. This is a group lead by the Rev. Armstrong of Zion and Bethel (Tankerville) churches. This is a time for sharing and caring about one another. This group meets on the fourth Thursday of each month and all are welcome.

Harvest party: Mark your calendar for the Harvest Party sponsored by Mount Pleasant on Sunday, Oct. 29, for a hayride and weenie roast. Everyone must be at the church at 4 p.m. for the hayride. The church will provide the hot dogs and drinks. Please bring a snack to share.In sympathy:
