  • CHAT recognizes the efforts of animal volunteers

    I hope everyone enjoyed the St Paddy’s Day parade and the day at the park. Karen Frazey and all the CHAT gals worked very hard getting our float and booth ready for the parade.

    I guess we are shameful when it comes to showing off all the beautiful dogs and kitties that are at the Adoption Center. If you did not make your way to the Adoption Center last week, please visit us soon. Even if you don’t adopt, just taking an animal out of its kennel helps socialize them.

  • NJROTC spruces up Wakulla County Courthouse

    What happened overnight at our courthouse? Did some do-gooder elves drop by? Who weeded the gardens? Who cut back the long grasses so they didn’t hang over the walkways?

    Who trimmed the hedges? Who pruned hanging branches?

    Who piled pine straw on gardens in front and in back?

    NJROTC cadets, led by Capt. Ron Huddleston and Lt. Mike Stewart, busied themselves after school hours, in another one of their many service projects. Service projects? Aren’t they in training?
