Bronson's Sons of AMVETS Squadron 88 has been commended by the Levy County Commission for its projects including a meal for homeless veterans served on Dec. 3 at the HONOR House in Gainesville and a wreath ceremony for Rosemary Cemetery on Saturday at noon.
Ivan Chubb, Veterans Affairs representative, said the Post marshaled an effort to feed the veterans at the one-stop shop for helping homeless veterans get back on their feet.

 It was two days of non-stop action  a few weekends ago when Russell Mania infiltrated Williston’s Horseman’s Park.

    The Arts Center has lots to offer in December. All events are open to the public. 

 U.S. Naval Sea Cadets Petty Officer First Class Ariana Pusey and Seaman Kimberly Vickers, of Manatee Division, attended Academy Day at MacDill Air Force Base. Congresswoman Kathy Castor, U.S. Representative from the 11th District of Florida, provided an opportunity for interested high school students to learn about various military academies and ROTC programs. 

Janet McGuire Hendershot says she was first bitten by the writing bug in high school when she won a prize for an essay on what it means to be American, a theme that would shape much of what she wrote about for the rest of her life.
Hendershot, a 73-year-old resident of Old Town since 1989, grew up in North Miami in the 1950s. It was a different time in America, she says.
“You didn’t lock your house up, and you could go anywhere on a bus. It was safe back in those days.”

The repoire breaks the silence of a crisp fall morning.
The smell of gun powder wafts through the air.
Light chatter abounds, so not to break the concentration of the shooters.
That's how it goes at Robinson Ranch Trap and Skeet Club in Inglis, nestled off of State Road 40, 1 mile west of Dunnellon.
The facility features trap, skeet, five-stand and Fitask shooting.

 Muriel Ellison, past president and current member of the Chiefland Home and Community Education Club, continued her club’s tradition of supporting the Suwannee Valley Players with a contribution recently. Accepting the check on behalf of the Players was member Kassie Barron, left.

     The Moose Club’s annual Halloween party for the children of the community was a great success. There were more than 50 children who showed up for fun, food and games held at the club's meeting hall—a safe afternoon to show off costumes and scary faces. All won prizes.

   The men and women of the Moose Club worked hard to transform the hall into a big spook house. The children enjoyed it and said they were looking forward to next year's event.
