Literary Club benefit raises
$3K for library
Special to The Monitor
SEVEN POINTS–Nelda Jean Hulsey and the Literary Club of
Cedar Creek recently conducted a bridge tournament and silent auction in
support of the Library at Cedar Creek Lake.
The event, held at the First United Methodist Church of Mabank, was a
huge success. The organizers donated $3,005.95 to The Library.
The Library is immensely grateful to all sponsors, and supporters who
organized or participated in the event as well as the church and its
pastor for allowing the group to use its facility.
As a 501(c)(3) non-profit public library, it depends on community
organizations and individuals to keep its doors open.
Therefore, gifts like these are of great importance.
The Library staff and the board express their sincere gratitude to the
friends who organized this event.
Robert Beer of Tool, who recently passed away, was a patron and
supporter of the Library at Cedar Creek Lake.
The library extends its condolences to the bereaved family.
A well known Dallas businessman involved in many noble causes in the
Metroplex, he will be missed by many of his family, friends and
relatives.
His family has chosen the library as a beneficiary of memorials and as a
result many of his friends and family have sent donations totaling
$2,700 to the library.
The Library expresses its gratitude to the Beer family and their friends
and relatives.

Habitat for Humanity gets
donation
Special to The Monitor
PAYNE SPRINGS–The Pinnacle Women’s Club is pleased to present the Cedar
Creek chapter of Habitat for Humanity a check in the amount of $1,000.
Habitat for Humanity is instrumental in providing low-cost housing to
qualified individuals giving them the opportunity to fulfill the great
American dream of owning their own home.
Families who qualify for Habitat Homes pay monthly mortgages, insurance
and tax payments, but the loan is interest free.
They are also required to donate 300 hours of “sweat equity” in the
construction of their home and other projects, making this process “a
hand up, not a hand out.”
“The lake area community deserves a round of applause for making the
Pinnacle Women annual garage sale a huge success, which allows us to
support worthwhile organizations such as Habitat with the funds
generated from this event,” PWC philanthropy chairman Jean Alexander
said.
