Prescott Realty Group is seeking feedback on Lake Highlands Town Center from our core customer - women shoppers. We need you to weigh in on many aspects of LHTC - from the center's layout, the architectural design, parking options, pedestrian walkways, outdoor features and, most importantly, retailers. We'd like to know which retailers you like or don't like and why, who some of the great local shops or restaurants are that you'd like to see at LHTC as well as some of the larger national retailers. While LHTC is a true mixed-use development with retail, residential and office uses, it's the retail that will drive the success. That retail experience revolves around you.Please RSVP by Thursday, July 17th to Brenna Ellis at Prescott Realty Group (214) 269-3147 or email bellis@prescottrealtygroup.com. Let us know which session works best for you and most importantly please let us know your name, marital status, whether you have children and if so, what ages. The sessions will be very informal and we'll have food and beverages for everyone. Thank you for your interest in Lake Highlands Town Center . We look forward to meeting with you.

John Gould, President of the Friends of the Audelia Library, announced that his group receives donations of used books in sufficient quantity to hold frequent book sales at the library. Each sale allows the Friends to earn $100 to $130, and the funds are used to support library programs. The Board has decided that so long as the supply of books holds up, it will hold a book sale on the 3rd Sunday afternoon each month from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., and the next sale will be July 20th.

Recently the Friends were given several boxes of American Association of Petroleum Geologists Bulletins dating back to 1954. Please inquire at the sale table next Sunday if you are interested in the collection or know someone who would be.

Last week, a Lake Highlands resident donated a Clavinova digital piano to the library. The Friends of the Library are currently studying how to incorporate its use into library programs and would welcome your input on how it might be used.
