I’ve been busy, but went over to the forum that West Chambers County Chamber of Commerce put on last Monday. I was allowed three (3) minutes to speak and let me tell you, that is only 180 seconds. Anyone that knows me, I’m just getting wound up in five minutes, so you can imagine I didn’t get to say everything I wanted to about my town and my platform.
But, I did tell about Old River Baptist and the Historic Little Rock Baptist church, both are a great part of our community. I told about the Floating Capital of Texas, The Cayuga, that came up our Old River and was eventually bought by one of the original settlers, Robert Wiseman. (see the story on the ORW History pages at www.orwfoundersday.com
They asked me what did I think my duty was as City Council Woman. I said it was making hard decisions, such as dissolving the police department before the town went bankrupt. There are other reasons,but I won’t give them at this time.
I was invited to go to the Chambers County Historical Commission meeting and found a great attendance of members and guests that are interested in saving and preserving the History of Chambers County. There is also a page on that at the website.
I then received a call to attend the Dayton Historical Commission on Monday Night coming and I accepted on behalf of our town. They will help us in our founders day endeavor. I am looking forward to that. I will try to put links on the website for their museum, too.
You don’t have to spend money and travel way off to have a vacation. Make your home your headquarters and drive to a different museum every day for a week.
On the website is information about ones that I am discovering as I put the historical pages together.
I’m giving out more of the Ambassador and T-Shirt sponsor T-Shirts today, so I will write later on this week.
