The Yazoo County Beta Club recently attended the Beta Convention in Tupelo. The local group earned several awards and certificates. Special to The Herald
The Yazoo County Beta Club recently attended the Beta Convention in Tupelo on March 26-27.
There were 43 delegates in attendance. The club participated in various categories thus receiving certificates for their participation. Because of their outstanding performance in three categories: first place in quilting, second place in sketching and third place in banner competition; the Beta Club has been invited to compete on the National level in Greensboro, N.C. on June 25-27. This year’s theme was “Betas Start Your Engines.”
For the last nine years under the sponsorship of Mrs. Leonia Gilmore, this club has excelled on both the state and national competition levels.
This club has added Mrs. Kimwana Collins, Mrs. Pamela Jenkins and Mr. Frank Woods as co-sponsors.
Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
