Twenty-four students of the Auburn Grammar Art Club enjoyed a trip to Bell Buckle Tuesday. They met several artists and toured the Webb School. This was a joint effort with the Westside group.

There are no anniversaries so with Thanksgiving being this Thursday, be sure and be thankful. There is something each person can be thankful for. Here is a quote I've read, "feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it". God is our Giver, thank Him for ALL things.
