Pearl News

Thank you to all who participated in the Pearl Community Thanksgiving Lunch on Nov. 13! There were about 90 in attendance, and all report of the wonderful food and fellowship they experienced that day.

It takes a village to make events like this a success!!

The Pearl Cottage Bookstore has been gifted with an extensive collection of Robert Redford memorabilia. Included are autographed pictures, stories of his many movies, The Red Book fan club book collection from various and many years, a scrapbook of The Horse Whisperer, and many more items in pristine condition. If you are interested in purchasing any or all of these items, please call Linda Ray at 254-865-9282 for more information. All proceeds from the sale of this collection will benefit the bookstore’s charities.

It seems to be the season of breakable parts in Pearl as Sally Freeman and Linda Ray have both suffered breaks in the last few weeks. Nothing seems to stop these spunky ladies, though! You just can’t keep good women down! Please keep them in your prayers for speedy healing. And please, everyone else be careful! We don’t need any more broken bones in Pearl!
