Thanks to the Garden Club and the local group called McCamey Operation Pride (MOP), we experienced a wonderful Arbor Day here in McCamey today! It began with the Scouts posting the colors and us reciting the pledge allegiance to the flag and to conservationism. Pastor Charles Alkula provided the invocation and the benediction. The program included a time of reflection... and of remembering and honoring those who died during the last year. Family members and friends utilized a golden shovel to place dirt around the memorial tree, as each loved one's name was named. It was a very moving ceremony! Thanks be to God for a community who comes together to reflect and then prepare to move into the future... together, with love and hope!!!
