Historical Society chooses board
The newly formed Cleveland Historical Society met last night and, among other
items of business, elected their seven-member board of directors. Officers are
Sue Hayes, president; Craig Bounds, vice-president; Edna Gilchriest, treasurer;
and Wanda Colvin, secretary. Additional directors are Jill Kirkonis, Elton Williams,
and Bill McAdams. The next meeting of the Historical Society has been scheduled
for Thursday, October 23, at 7 p.m. at Austin Memorial Library. The public is
encouraged to attend, and to bring in documents, photographs, and small artifacts
of historical significance that they wish to donate to the society. Until a permanent
museum is obtained, items will be stored at the library.
Architect to be on hand for public meeting
Next Thursday evening, September 25, Cleveland City Hall will be
the site of a public meeting regarding proposed improvements to the
downtown Central Business
District. On hand to listen to citizen suggestions and comments will be architect
Carl Joiner, as well as city officials. One of the main purposes of the meeting
is to allow citizens and business owners to help develop a theme concept plan
for the downtown region. The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. in city council
chambers at City Hall on East Boothe, and all citizens are invited and urged
to attend.
Cleveland family to be on national TV
Rolando and Robin Leal of Cleveland, and their 18 adopted children,
will be featured in a one-hour documentary on the cable Hallmark
Channel sometime in
the coming
months. A camera crew and producer spent four days this week interviewing
and filming the Leal family - attending church (the producer said
they particularly
wanted a shot of the entire family piling out of the van in their Sunday "best");
shopping at WalMart; Robin Leal homeschooling four of the children; and just
generally living their lives. The Leals have been spotlighted on several Houston
TV channels and shows, and have gained some national recognition for the size
- and achievements - of their family.
Funeral Services scheduled
- Denman R. "Buck" Watson; Saturday, September 27, 10 a.m., First Baptist
Church in Cleveland, with interment following at Abbott Spring Meadows, Corrigan.
