Cherokee was blessed with rain early Monday morning.

I'm fairly certain that everyone who needs a prom or otherwise formal dress for graduation and other end of school year ceremonies has found one but if not,  I want to tell you about the Fairy Godmother Foundation which is based out of Leander, Texas.  This is an organization that loans formal dresses and all the trimmings (shoes, jewelry) for special occasions at no charge.  You can learn more about the Fairy Godmother Foundation at:  www.fairygodmotherfoundation.com  You can also read more about the Foundation later this week on the Cherokee, Texas website.

Last Saturday, 27 people from the Cherokee Church of Christ went to Fort Worth to help Rapha International pack medical supplies.  These medical supplies are for locations throughout the world that can not obtain or do not have medical supplies.

Doug and Cyndi Suggs spent the week-end in LaPort, Texas visiting grandchildren and children.  Sydnie Suggs was in the Silvan Beach Jr. Miss Pageant.  Nettie Jean Randolph and Kelli and Ashley Jenske spent the week-end taking care of Jamie, Jena and Jessica Ball while Sid and Kristi Ball went to Las Vegas.  Nettie Jean and Kelli might need the next vacation.  Ben Campbell visited in Cherokee last weekend.  Mary Ellen Davis was in Granbury last weekend visiting her grandchildren, Chad and Laura Johnson.  Of course, she enjoyed the great-grandchildren.  Kevin Randoph spent the weekend with Richard and Jerry Randolph.  Robbie, Paulie and Skye Broyles came from Spring Branch to attend the roping Saturday.  They spent the night with Robert and Sue Broyles before heading for Fredericksburg where Skye rode in the barrel competition.  Jim and Melody Ball were in Lampasas Sunday and Monday keeping Jessica, Jamie and Jenna Ball.  Brandon Capps from Lampasas spent several days with Maybelle and Gary Ray.  

Suni Norris had surgery in Scott and White last week.  Beth Estep was in the Llano Hospital last week.  Randy Henderson spent a few days in the hospital.  He says he won't be fixing any more water gaps.  

Until next week, that's the news from Cherokee, Texas!
