Farmers Branch began dancing for senior citizens when senior centers were scarcely known. On May 12, 2008, the "branch" will celebrate twenty successful years during which Buford & Corina Watson will be honored for their leadership along the way. The dances began with a small group of people dancing to recorded music on a small tile covered floor and now enjoy a new senior center with a beautiful 5000 sq ft ballroom that can accommodate almost 300 seniors. Live music is now provided by a variety of top-notch bands. Dances are every Monday (except when the center is closed for holidays). It's a rare Monday when fewer than 200 friendly folks gather for fun, exercise & excitement. Join us as we celebrate this joyous occasion and every Monday thereafter (admission is $5 with free refreshments).

The women’s group at Holy Trinity by the Lake Episcopal Church in Heath is excited about our upcoming parish-wide “garage sale” to be held on May 16 and 17. It will be a fundraiser for our many ministries and programs and we thought your congregation might be interested in taking advantage. Our 2007 event was an outstanding success with many quality donations wonderfully organized and displayed for sale. Not were customers from all over Dallas pleased to acquire many great bargains, but so was Austin Street Homeless Shelter, to whom we donated all unsold goods afterwards. As before, our goods are of outstanding quality, some of which are new or barely used, but priced to sell. There will be incredible items donated by our parishioners, as well as items that are not being used by our church or day school that is now closed. If it is appropriate, we hope you will either post the enclosed flyer on your message board or copy it for insertion in your service bulletin. More

Thu 22 May 2008 6:00 PM Wines Across America
Join us as we discover wines from across America! “Varietals -- wines made entirely or mostly from the single grape variety named on the front label -- are the most prominent type of American wine. Most of the great American wines are varietals, and a growing number of wines made from Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot Noir are challenging their European models on sheer quality. Traditionally, the best buys are generic wines, those that used to be labeled "Chablis" or "Burgundy" but now are more often simply called table wine. One of the hottest US wines is Zinfandel, which in the 1990s came into its own as a profoundly distinctive red wine. There is no European counterpart.”—Wine Spectator
