City Round-Up

LaVergne Library
From Nov. 13 - 22, the library will be giving free replacement cards. Usually, there is no charge for a second card. However if you lose the second, it costs $5 to get a third one. During this period, all replacement cards will be free.

The library is sponsoring a "What are You Thankful for this holiday season" contest. Two winners will be chosen (they have to have an active library card and drop their name, address and phone number in a bowl) and they will each receive a $50 gift certificate to Smith's Neighborhood Market. The names will be drawn on the 17th of November.

Fire Safety Poster Contest Dinner
Fire Station Three, located on Bill Stewart Boulevard, will host a special dinner for those young people who won the local school's fire safety poster contest. Their parents will also be invited. The dinner will take place Nov. 17 at 6:30 p.m. at Station 3, 301 Bill Stewart Boulevard.

The posters have all been sent to the state for competition in the state contest. For more information, contact Fire Marshal Mark Sells at 405-5931.
