When we invited the community to join HSU, and media sponsors KRBC and the Abilene Reporter News on the evening of 7 Aug in a community-wide event for families, we knew we'd have a lot of fun activities for parents and their children. Now, thanks to a generous donation by WalMart, we'll have a packet of school supplies for the first 100 children to stop by. But don't just come to score materials for the coming school year, stay to enjoy the food, entertainment, a jumping castle, CHS, AHS, and WHS cheerleaders, and the Six White Horses riding team. The Abilene Reporter News will have their booth, and KRBC will be reporting live from the event. Come to the best backyard cookout in Abilene, on the HSU front lawn. Things start at 5:00 p.m. and run until 9:00.

Don't forget the Joe Black Classic golf tournament the following day. There is still room for a few more teams and bidding is heating up on Joe's PGA memorabilia. You can see the items listed on the silent auction at joeblack.hsutx.edu and call HSU golf coach David Sherman at 670-1374 to enter a team. So you don't have a team and you still want to get in 18 holes for collegiate golf? Call David and he'll put you with a team. The prizes are great and the 8:00 start will take advantage of the morning breeze and the great shade on the Fairway Oaks course.
