Richards News

Congratulations to the Richards High School Boys Cross Country team on their district win. We are so proud of you. Way to go. They are making Richards proud.

The October Civic Club meeting this month was a very special one as the featured guest speaker was from the proposed Texas Central Railway. Just waiting to hear some feedback from the Civic Club meeting on just how this all went. I have been to a few of these events over the past years in different areas of the county. Just hope what they found out was good news.

If anyone happens to find a gray cat wearing a collar, contact me and I will give you more information and help the kitty to find its owners. The cat is missing from Red top and Bays Chapel Road.

Last week Choir Members at Union Grove Baptist Church gathered at the Fifth Sunday Singing in a special way to thank Bobby Montgomery for being their music director for so many years.
