The Tonkawa Fire Department responded to 14 ambulance calls transporting 9, and 5 fire calls during the past week.

In the letter Paul wrote to the Roman Christians, he said, “Put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.” How many of you, when you were growing up, had special “go to Sunday School and church” clothes? You would get dressed on Sunday morning and wait til it was time to go to church, and you had better not go outside and get dirty while waiting. And then you changed out of those into your “play clothes” as soon as you got home. You need to wear your “Sunday best” or at least the best you had. And of course, you had to put on “good behavior”, too.

Welcome Home Quilts is a group of 3 women trying to provide a quilt for the Veterans and Active service men and women in the Tonkawa Area. The 3 women are Kipann Gottman, Patricia Levings McCune & Sherry Jeffries Fields. To date, there have been over 60 quilts made and presented to Vets, Active service men, policemen and firemen. It takes about $100 - $125 worth of materials to make a quilt. If you would like to sponsor a quilt, we will need the name, branch of military, service dates. This is a great way to honor our servicemen and women. We would like to thank those that have contributed to Welcome Home Quilts so far. If you would like to donate, have questions or sponsor a quilt, please contact Patty McCune 580-628-0698
