Children’s Lunch Program Needs Help

by Leave a Comment

Volunteers prepare sack lunches at the Christ’s Kids Outreach Ministry recently as the program reaches out for help with escalating costs. The program prepares and delivers lunch to an average of 130 kids in Clarendon and Howardwick five days a week. The number of kids is up about 40 percent, but donations are not keeping up with the demand and the increase in food costs. Donations can be made to Christ’s Kids, PO Box 45, Clarendon, TX 79226. For more information, contact Felicia Atkinson at 806-205-1096 or Bobby Ellerbrook at 806-662-7650Enterprise Photo / Anndria Newhouse

Clarendon’s Patron Saint

by Leave a Comment

Cornelia Adair looks over Clarendon with her husband John Adair’s image coming into focus as the downtown ranch heritage mural continues to reveal itself this week through the skillful art of Malcolm Byers. If Saints’ Roost were to have a patron saint, Mrs. Adair might be the leading candidate for her lifetime of philanthropy to Clarendon. Her gifts to the community included the Adair Hospital (now the Saints’ Roost Museum) and the YMCA Building (later Clarendon City Hall and now Clarendon’s Fire Hall.)

Citizens Cemetery has two new flag poles to replace the old single pole that was broken by a storm last year. John Morrow donated his time and labor to move the new poles from Herring Bank’s property to the cemetery over the Flag Day weekend. The poles had to be removed from the bank property due to an upcoming TxDOT project.

The project, funded by the Clarendon Economic Development Corporation, began Monday and is expected to be completed before July 4.
