Broken Arrow Baptist Church, family of our community, honored Mrs. Loretta Isbell with an Appreciation Dinner recently. The church’s fellowship Hall was the scene of this special occasion. Loretta has printed the Church’s weekly bulletins for several years. She receives many compliments from those of us who have seen and read the bulletins, which are very informative as well as inspirational. She received a monetary gift from the church family.

Happy birthday to my friends Elizabeth “Liz” Williams, July 2, and Evelyn Tollison, July 17!
