The Cedar Creek Amateur Radio Club will feature a former FCC Enforcer as its guest speaker via Skype at its next meeting, Saturday, July 12, at 9 a.m. at the Mabank Café.
Riley Hollingsworth, K4ZDH, held the title of Special Counsel for the Spectrum Enforcement Division of the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau until his retirement in 2008. A popular speaker at ham radio conventions nationwide, Hollingsworth visited with the CCARC last winter via Skype videoconferencing. He was such a hit with members that he will be back to tell more “war stories” about his career as chief enforcer for the FCC.

Rainbow Girls press release
The Gun Barrel City Masonic Youth Rainbow Girls installed new officers on June 14. As something unique this term, two girls will share presiding as Worthy Advisor–Shelby McGallian and Michelle Sanderford. The theme for the term is “Frozen.” The motto is “Let It Go and Love;” colors are pale blue, silver, and white; song, “Let It Go;” mascot, Snowflake; and scripture is “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”–Deuteronomy 31:6. Michelle Sanderford was installed in the office of Worthy Associate Advisor, Tara Trimmins in Charity, and Kayla Rife was elected to the office of Hope. Shelby McGallian was installed as Chaplain; and Samantha Ramos, Emily Currey, and Katie Schaefer were respectively appointed to the offices of Religion (orange), Nature (yellow), and Immortality (green), corresponding to colors of the Rainbow. Mrs. Tonya Currey serves as Mother Advisor. Mr. George Heitman was again appointed as Rainbow Dad. All the girls received awards recognizing their service hours and memory work. It was a lovely Installation Ceremony that was preceded by sandwiches, chips, blue punch, blue Jell-O, blue candy brittle, and cupcakes. The Banquet Hall was decorated in light blue and white table covers, snow- and icicle-covered tree branches, and diamond jewels; and the guests were given “snowman-making kits” of marshmallows and pretzel sticks.
Installing Officers for the ceremony were: Installing Officer, Carrie Currie (Grand Texas Flag Bearer); Installing Recorder, Mrs. Lucy Gray (Board Chair); Installing Chaplain, Jennifer Haston (Grand Faith); Installing Marshal, Cheryl Haston (Grand Worthy Advisor); and Installing Musician, Mrs. Donna Dean (Grand Deputy).
Another highlight of this special day was an Honor Program for Carrie, who has represented the Assembly and Texas Rainbow this year as Grand Texas Flag Bearer. The Pledge group was also excited to welcome a new Pledge, Liza Eads–a wonderful conclusion to the busy day. Continue reading “Masonic Youth Rainbow Girls Install Officers”

You’ll want to be at Mabank Pavilion early and plan to stay awhile so you don’t miss a thing at the Saturday, May 3, Cedar Creek Lake Car Show & Kiwanis Krawfish Boil.
The Kiwanis Club will be cooking crawfish and all the trimmings very early and traditionally, the first batch is ready by about 9 a.m. By then, the chamber Grill Team is cooking up burgers and hot dogs and the concession is busy serving breakfast items. Crawfish will be served until all is gone.
Prices are $26 for a flat (feeds 4), $16 for a half flat and $8 for a Boat. The concession items are reasonably priced and affordable for families.
Entry to the Car Show is free to the public.
The cars will start rolling in by 7 a.m., with registration opening at 8 a.m. Registration fee is $20 per car, whether pre-registered or registering the day of. According to the Car Show Committee Chair Bill Hanstrom, there are already more than 100 cars pre-registered, but the grounds of the Mabank Pavilion offer lots of space for parking the show cars and the owners are encouraged to bring their tents for shade and plan to sit back and relax, visit with the crowd and enjoy the day.
Entry forms for the Car Show are available through the chamber of commerce office for those wanting to pre-register. There will be door prizes, t-shirts for all pre-registered entries, raffles and 50/50, and lots of good music to add to the festive day. The 2013 Car Show hosted over 170 entries and by all indications, a larger number is expected this year. Continue reading “Cedar Creek Lake Car Show & Krawfish Boil Saturday, May 3”
