PTO fall fest draws large crowd
Saturday night's "Fall Fest,"
sponsored by the Parent-Teacher

cess by organizers.
Although a final tally of pro-
ceeds was not available Tuesday,
Chairman Rene Bailey stated that
the evening "seemed to be a big
success."
"The cafeteria had a lot of
business, and everything seemed
to go very smoothly," Bailey said.
"Even the weather cooperated."
PTO Treasurer Betsy Parsons
said "it really helped that we had
such a good clean-up crew after
the evening was over. We were
able to clean up in just one hour."
Although a relatively small
crowd showed up to watch the
movie "E.T." in the cafeteria, a
good crowd took part in the
various games and activities at
the Fall Fest. Bailey stated that
the bingo games continued past
their 9:30 p.m. deadline until ap-
proximately 10:00 p.m.
A large number of children and

traditional Halloween costume
judging, which took place in the

ris won third as a pirate.

Campaign now halfway to goal
Contributions to the Albany
Chest during the past week
jumped more than $3,000, pro-
viding a big boost to the fund-
raising drive which began Oc-
tober 3.
As of Monday, a total of $6,210
had been received in donations at
The First National Bank, accord-
ing to Lorene McComas. This is
up considerably over previous col-
lections of $3,020.
The goal for 1988 has been s*;.,
at $12,500 for the Albany Chest,
which is affiliated with the United
Way. The board of directors met
October 3 to approve a goal,
which will aid in funding 15 local
and area groups.
"We have gotten a good jump
on reaching our goal, and we are
almost to the halfway point," com-
mented Rene Bailey, publicity
chairman. "We just encourage ev-
eryone to give, whether their
donation is $5 or $100. The little
donations are just as important as
the large ones — it will take every-
one to help reach the $12,500
goal."
Letters to those whe have
donated in the past have been
mailed, asking for their help again
this year.
The current goal of $12,500 is
down from last year's goal of
$13,000, primarily because
several of the organizations re-
quested funding decreases.
If the goal is reached, the
following organizations will
receive funding: Albany Youth
Soccer Association, $700; Boy
Scouta of America, $400; Ladies
Auxiliary of the Albany
Volunteer Fire Department, $250;
American Red Cross, $250;
Shackelford County Rural Fire
Department, $1,000; Shackelford
County Library, $2,000; and West
Texas Rehabilitation Center,
$250.
Others are Albany Baseball
Association, $2,200; Albany Cub
couts, $500; Albany Jaycees for
The Hot Spot, $500; Albany Salva-
tion Army, $500; Albany United
Girls Softball. $900; Albany
Volunteer Fire Department,
$1,000; and Albany Youth Center,
$1,500.
The board also set aside $50 for
the Texas United Service, which
allows the Chest to be affiliated
with the United Way campaign.
Donations, which are tax deduc-
tible, may be given to Lorene Mc-
Comas at Tne First National
Bank, or mailed to the Albany
Chest, PO Box 157, Albany, Texas
76430.
Commodities to be distributed
Surplus butter and flour will be
distributed to qualified persons
on Tuesday, November 8, in both
Albany and Moran, according to
Shackelford County Judge Marie
Smith.
According to the judge, only
butter and flour is available this
month. She is unsure how much
longer the distribution of the free
commodities will continue.
The government commodity
program provides surplus food
items to needy families every
other month.
The distribution will begin at
10:00 a.m. at .Moran City Hall for
Moran residents, and at 1 IKK) a.m.
in Albany at the Youth Center. .
Residents who receive the food
must meet guidelines set by the
Texas Department of Human Ser-
vices.
In September, the county pro-
vided commodities to 260 fami-
lies —590 individuals.
Qualifications for the program
are gauged by an individual's or
family's gross income and number
of dependents. Persons who are
currently unemployed are also
eligible for the program.
