REACH OUT TO HELP A NEIGHBOR
We can make an impact on our world, but it starts in our own backyard. Our own L Streets resident Stephanie Owens (fourteen year old daughter of Mia and Jim Owens), is in need of your prayers and support. Stephanie has suffered brain trauma from being struck by a vehicle while riding her bike. Her prognosis is undetermined, yet optimistic.
Along with the emotional strain comes the reality of medical expenses. We are asking for you or anyone you know to come together and help the Owens Family. Although a long road lies ahead for Stephanie and her family your support can help ease the journey. If you would like to show your support, you can do so by donating baked goods, merchandise/services for silent auction or make a monetary donation. Tell your family and friends to come by and shop! There will be lots of goodies and wonderful items at our silent auction!
Date: Saturday, July 14th
Time: 9am-3:00pm
Place: Knights of Columbus (10110 Shoreview Rd, Dallas 75238)
-just inside the corner of Northwest Highway and Ferndale Road

* label the item and list any ingredients that might cause allergic reactions (such as nuts, coconut, berries, etc.)
* (optional) a nice index card to share your special recipe

Silent auction items/services:

Callie’s Tidbit: Heirloom Bulbs Saved!
On April 3, Dallas/Fort Worth-area gardeners banded together to rescue rare flower bulbs from a future construction site. Thousands of Campernelle bulbs (Narcissus x odorus) have thrived in this empty lot in Fort Worth for more than 50 years, emerging once a year to reveal their rare beauty. These bulbs were relocated to the Crow Lake area along Trinity River in Dallas. They will become part of the newest landscape addition of the Trinity River Project. Calloway’s Nursery is proud to be part of this endeavor in preserving Texas’ heirloom flower bulbs.
Remember Calloway’s Nursery for any gardening questions. We have Texas Certified Nursery Professionals in every store to assist you in any way. Visit us today!
