December 16th is the deadline for making your donation to the annual Mason County E.M.S. fundraiser: “Operation Christmas Greeting”. This paper’s Christmas edition is December 21st, and it will contain a Texas size “Community Greeting Card” that has an alphabetical listing of all contributors. Only the total amount of all donations is ever listed. The Mason County “Greeting” began fifteen years ago and the goal each year is to provide funds for equipment needs.
