Happy Birthday to Rick May . . . During the first Friday of the summer months from 6 until 8 p.m. the Harris Street Church offers free burgers and hot dogs to passers-by as part of its outreach program. Since our neighbor Betty Holmbe is one of the volunteers I felt it necessary to pay the activity a visit and sample its wares. The burgers were excellent! Pastor Rick Denison Jr. said the monthly effort grew out of the church’s participation in National Night Out a few years ago. The church membership enjoyed that evening so much that they decided to make it a monthly event when weather permitted. Neighborhood response has been varied, but last night the evening was so pleasant that lots of people showed up. They ran out of food! Guess we all need to kick in a couple of bucks to keep this alive. The picture shows the preparations for the evening; guess I should have gone back when the crowds descended. I would have enjoyed another burger . . . Those in the CAN neighborhood are celebrating their annual get-together in Kathy MacNett’s back yard tonight. Bet you can guess what tomorrow’s featured picture will be . . . And a belated Happy Birthday to Diane Neiper who celebrated yesterday . . .
