The trio is led to the old pier for one last all-nighter, one last stand, and one last shot at their memories, their
friendship and the chance to hook the Big One. They don't know it yet but they just might land the biggest
catch of all.

labor. He sees a chance to escape this terrible fate when a mysterious man shows up and gives him a bag full
of magic. On his way home with the treasure, he trips, and all is lost—or is it? Giant Bugs! Charging

bunny goes on to win bigger then we will have bigger prizes. Our club is a really fun one. The cost to join is
$10.00 a family or $5.00 an individual and they don't have to join to show. We have meetings once a month
and do some really fun stuff throughout the year.

August 12 - Gospel Benefit Concert at the Fair Theatre in downtown Plainview. Freada and Mark Warren
welcome area residents to enjoy a night of gospel music as their gift to the community as a celebration of the
memory of the Warrens' son Clay, but also of a community which offered its whole-hearted support during a
dark and trying time. Perhaps most meaningful and far-reaching of all is Mark and Freada Warren's passionate
support of LifeGift, an organ donation organization based in Fort Worth. Following the tragedy, the Warrens
decided to donate their son's heart, liver, and kidneys. In a moment of despair, there was also hope.The
evening will feature The Master's Vessels performing live in concert, along with other special guest performers.
One of the artists, Bill Durham, shares a unique connection with the Warrens for he was the recipient of Clay's
heart. The Fair Theatre box office will open at 6:30 p.m., with the performance to follow at 7:30 p.m. There is
no charge to attend, though tax-deductible donations would be much appreciated. All proceeds benefit the
Clay R. Warren Memorial Scholarship Fund. For more information, patrons may contact Harrell at (806) 2961139.

February 28 - Exploring Birds Through Poetry, a free program at the February meeting of the Llano Estacado
Audubon Society at the Lubbock Municipal Garden & Arts Center, 7 p.m. Presenter is William Wenthe,
Professor, Poet & Bird Watcher. There is a long history connecting birds and poetry. For example, Alexander
Wilson, dean of American ornithologists, was also a poet! Traditionally, birds have figured in literature as
symbols of inspiration, or of divine
presence--as something other than birds. But contemporary poets, including Texas Tech English Professor
William Wenthe, tend to be interested in birds as birds: to write about the particular birds in particular places,
the way that we find them as bird watchers. As a poet, and amateur bird watcher ("amateur" in the root sense
of "one who loves"), he will share examples of contemporary poems that are remarkable both for the birds and
for the poetry in them. 4215 S. University - Lubbock, Texas LEAS has a great selection of Audubon plush birds
[buy 2 get 1 free!] and other gift items.

segment called the "Airs Above the Ground." These are the spectacular leaps and maneuvers, once used by riders in
saddle to protect and defend themselves on the battlefield, which are now preserved as an equestrian work of art.
