Mason Young Life has been blessed to be in ministry with Mason high school students for 8 years. As we approach another amazing year of sharing the good news of the Gospel with students, we face a significant financial impact on the ministry due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Out of respect for our struggling families and businesses, we chose to cancel our Spring fundraiser and rely on monthly donors, cash reserves, and “belt tightening” to keep the ministry afloat.
The Hill Country CattleWomen’s regular September meeting will be canceled. They will next meet on October 20, 2020.
10 a.m. Social, 10:30 a.m. meeting, catered box lunch.
Haverlah Ranch 17900 CR 310, Cherokee, TX
No speaker as awards will be given and everyone will want time to visit!
“I am excited to host our October Meeting at our ranch and see everyone again!” shared HCCW member Lindsay Alexander.
There is no need to suffer chronic pain with the availability of treatments offered through Hill Country Memorial Medical Group, according to Ralph G. Menard, MD, Pain Management and Palliative Care.
“I don’t have a magic wand,” Menard said. “But there are a lot of interventional treatments we can do that can greatly lessen or eliminate pain.”

2 tablespoons melted butter
½ cup minced green onions
1 ½ cups corn meal
½ cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
