Everyone is invited to attend. Brother Mike Dunivan is the new pastor at the Harwood Baptist Church.

Rosie Taylor, a friend of Jewell and Helen Ellerman, was a dinner guest in their home Sunday, March 11.

I (Helen Ellerman) received a certificate from State Representative Patrice Pike of the 126th District thanking me for writing about what was going on in the Schell City area. She did not know my address so she sent it to Madalyn Crocker and Madalyn got it to me. It is really pretty.

The Harwood and Schell City areas received some much needed rain, it had been really cold at times. I think they had the red flag warning out. Even though they got some rain, it was still dangerous to burn.
