The White Hall Community VFD met for their monthly business meeting Nov. 2. We had 18 members, one prospect and three visitors present. President Serres opened the meeting, Chaplain McMillan continued in prayer and the pledges were recited. Our visitors were the Thin Blue Line Brazos Valley who graciously came to give a presentation about whom they are and who they help. In two words, ‘First Responders’ is the group they help and 100% of your contributions go to helping the First Responders in the Brazos Valley, which does include Grimes County.

All of us were really tired by the end of the day.
