I hate it when an organization is so disorganized that everyone thinks someone else has notified the newspaper of their event, only to find out no one has. Or else someone volunteers to be the publicity chair and doesn't know what deadlines mean so they forget about it until it's too late.
I hate to tell nonprofit groups that their notice won't get in Our Town because they've missed deadline by sometimes five days.
I'm not feeling particularly strict today, so I'm giving the Bushland Choir Booster Club and the Buddy Walk folks a one-time only break. While their notices won't be in Our Town, where they should be, maybe people will read this and give them a hand. The Buddy Walk to benefit the Panhandle Down Syndrome Guild is 10 a.m. Saturday at Sam Houston Park. Information: 806-670-1568 or 806-382-2326.
The Bushland High School Choir's “Deepen the Arts” night will begin at 6:30 p.m. Friday in the high school auditorium. Chili dog dinner and desserts will be in advance of the program beginning at 7:15 p.m. The choir will sing all '80s songs. Cost is $5.
See, I do have a heart.
