Ruritan meeting set for Monday

Frances Easterling moved from her house on Oakley Wells road this week. She is moving to North Carolina to be near some family members. The house will soon be occupied by William and Elsie Hunter. We hope everyone is happy with their change in locations.

Union City Ruritan will meet Monday, Nov. 16, at 7 p.m. Since there is no regular meeting in December, this will be the last meeting of 2009. It will be good for all members to be present as we plan for the new year.

Did anyone hear gun fire at the home of William Haden Harris last Saturday? Nothing criminal or bloody was happening. Men from Union City Christian Church gathered at noon for a steak dinner and then spent the afternoon shooting at clay pigeons.

Health insurance is a big topic these days. If you do not have insurance or know someone without insurance, you will be interested in this meeting. Big Hill Christian Church on Goggins Lane will host a special program, Monday, Nov. 16, at 7 p.m. The following health related programs will be discussed:

• Melba Porter Hay will present Health Now! Clinic, a ministry staffed by volunteers

• Peggy Hollingsworth will discuss the Kentucky Prescription Assistance Program

• Kentucky Physicians Care program

• DSH program

• Kentucky Vision Project

• and Abbott Diabetic Supply program.

For more details, contact Peggy Hollingsworth at 623-0006.

Madison County Right to Life will have a candidates’ night on Nov. 19, 7 p.m., at Church on the Rock, Berea Road near Berea. Well-known political figures, including Dr. Alan Keyes and Robert Heft, will be on hand.

Alan Keyes was a candidate the Republican presidential nomination in 1996, 2000 and 2004.

Robert Heft is the designer of our current 50-star flag. The flag was a class project for at age 17.

Other participants on the program are Andy Barr, Bill Johnson, Matt Lockett and David Adams, who represents Rand Paul.

There is no admission charge, but a free will offering will be taken. For more information, contact Debbie Secchio at 623-7198.

On a personal note, I had the privilege of speaking for the homecoming service at my home church, River Drive Christian, in Irvine last Sunday. An added bonus was music that day by the Diggles Family from Lexington. They were kind enough to allow me to play violin with them on one song. We had a great time of fellowship and remembering 49 years of the church’s history.

Thanks to Johnny Bowen of Richmond who taught Sunday school and preached at Flatwoods in my absence.

Happy Birthday this week to Chuck VanWinkle, Friday; Donald Wells, Sunday; Daniel Wells and Millard Middleton, Monday; Frenus Masters and Eva Curry, Nov. 19.
