Family Visions Outreach, Inc.a local Nonprofit Organization held it's first annual Miss FVO and Miss Charity Pageant on November 17th at the Sumner Auditorium in Sumner, Georgia. The purpose of the pageant was to gather enough nonperishable items to feed at least 75 families on Thanksgiving. The goal was exceeded and 100 families were fed. Each contestant had to enter with at least 10 non-perishable items and each item over 10 allowed them to earn points toward the Miss Charity Crown. The Pageant was a huge success! Special thanks to all Sponsors!!

Books Worth Reading
Book Discussion Group

The pick for this month is "Game of Secrets" by Dawn Tripp. The book is described as "a page-turning thriller—a game of Scrabble helps two families spell out the history of a small-town murder." Books will be available at the library for pick up before the discussion. We'll get together on Tuesday, December 4th at 6 pm to discuss and discover the secrets hidden in this small New England town. Hope you can join us!
