Brookshire’s
hosts food, blood drives Saturday, Sept 4
Monitor Staff Reports
SEVEN POINTS/TOOL–Brookshire’s Grocery Store in Seven Points is hosting a
community food drive Saturday, Sept. 4.
The all-day event to launch the Labor Day weekend is meant to restock supplies at the food
pantry, located at the Cedar Creek Lake Methodist Church.
Five churches contribute to the west-side food pantry, and one church member has put up
$100 as a giveaway that day.
Anyone donating four or more nonperishable items to the pantry will have a chance to win.
To liven things up, KCKL-Radio will be broadcasting live from the Brookshire’s
parking lot that day.
Also, the store and Dr. Pepper will be offering a hot dog lunch menu with all proceeds
going to the community food pantry.
To further draw attention to the event, Carter BloodCare will also be on-site, giving
shoppers an opportunity to donate a life-giving gift.
Brookshire’s recently marked its fifth year in business in Seven Points and store
manager Scott Andrews says he sees the event as another way for the store to say thank you
to the community for its patronage.
The store also provided cases of bottled water to the Kemp school district Thursday, when
the city ran out of water due to a sequence of major water line breaks.
Thanks in part to their donation, children were kept safely in school where they had
access to water.
Pantry volunteer Nancy Fraser says that in any given month the pantry supplies food for
about 80 families or 250 people.
“We’re open 11 a.m. to noon every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.”
The pantry is supported by the members of the Aley and Cedar Creek Lake United Methodist
churches, Providence and Tool Baptist churches and the St. Jude Catholic Church.

This is a crime and drug prevention event.
NNO, which is sponsored by National Association of Town Watch (NATW) and co-sponsored

communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities and military bases
around the world.
In all, more than 36.7 million people are expected to participate in “America’s
Night Out Against Crime.”
National Night Out is designed to:
• heighten crime and drug prevention awareness,
• generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime efforts,
• strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships, and
• send a message to criminals, letting them know neighborhoods are organized and
fighting back.
From 7-10 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 5, residents in neighborhoods in Seven Points and across the
nation are asked to lock their doors, turn on outside lights and spend an evening outside
with neighbors and police.
Participants are encouraged to organize a block party.
Get to know your neighbors so you can know who and what to look for in your neighborhood.

“National Night Out” event at the city park (next to city hall).
A variety of activities are planned for citizens and their families.
They are:
• free bicycle registration,
• free drawings for coupons from local businesses,
• inflatable rides, activity booths, vehicle displays and much more.
“This is a night for America to stand together to promote awareness, safety and
neighborhood unity,” National Project Coordinator Matt Peskin said.
“National Night Out showcases the vital importance of police-community partnerships
and citizen involvement in our fight to build a safer nation.”
“On NNO, we invite neighborhoods nationwide to join us in giving crimes and drugs a
going-away party,” he added.
For more information on this year’s exciting event or how to get involved in
preventing crime in your neighborhood, contact Seven Points officer Perrini at (903)

Come Adopt Us At
The Humane Society of Cedar Creek Lake |
 The domino effect is a chain reaction that occurs when a small
change causes a similar change nearby, which then will cause another similar change, and
so on. My name is Domino, and I got my name not only because I’m black and white like
a domino tile, but also because my outgoing, cheerful personality causes my doggie
roommates to smile. This also causes our human friends to smile, which even causes the
kitties in the cat room to smile.
I am an 8-month-old male Pointer/Terrier mix. I love children, other dogs, and even get
along great with kitties. I’ve had all my shots and am ready to be adopted. If
you’d like to experience the domino effect, I am sure to put a forever smile on your
face when you take me to my forever home.
I currently live with a foster family, so if you would like to meet me, call my friends at
the Humane Society of Cedar Creek Lake at (903) 432-3422 to make an appointment. You can
also email them at dogshsccl@yahoo.com.
