| Meals-on-Wheels to hold "March For Meals" Campaign |
 Meals-on-Wheels of Johnson and Ellis Counties announced today that it will be participating in the national 2010 "March For Meals" campaign beginning March 1. Meals-on-Wheels is holding several events during the month to celebrate "March For Meals." In addition to an ongoing, county-wide publicity campaign throughout the month, Meals-on-Wheels will be hosting a volunteer reception on Tuesday, March 16, 5:30 pm, at the Holiday Inn in Waxahachie, and then, hosting local mayors and elected officials on Wednesday, March 24, where each will be delivering in their respective communities. To end the month-long celebration, Meals-on-Wheels will have an evening of swing dancing, dinner, and much more at their annual benefit, "Remember When...a Fabulous Forties' Fling." The event is scheduled for Saturday, March 27 at the National Guard Armory in Waxahachie, beginning at 6:30 pm. Tickets are $75 each, or tables for $1,000. Sponsorships are also available at varying levels. "We are excited about our upcoming benefit in celebrating those we serve-the 'greatest generation.' 'March for Meals' is really all about our clients, and how we can help them," said Amy Jackson, director of development. "Our goal is to recruit as many people in each community to become involved with Meals-on-Wheels," she added. "March For Meals" is a national campaign, initiated and sponsored by Meals On Wheels Association of America (MOWAA), to raise awareness of senior hunger and to encourage action on the part of the local community. Senior nutrition programs across the United States, like Meals-on-Wheels of Johnson and Ellis Counties, promote "March For Meals" in their local communities through public events, partnerships with local businesses, volunteer recruitment and fundraising initiatives. A major aspect of the 2010 "March For Meals" campaign is for Americans to team up with their local Meals On Wheels program and take the Pledge to end senior hunger in America by 2020. This national movement comes at a good time, as recent MOWAA research studies have revealed that the problem of senior hunger in America is indeed growing worse. In fact, Texas is ranked number four in the nation for elderly "food insecurity." Currently, one in nine seniors is at risk of hunger in the United States.

| Texas Theater Performances |
 Love Letters Friday & Saturday, March 5 and 6 8 p.m. A.R. Gurney's unique theatre piece Love Letters follows the correspondence exchanged over a lifetime between Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner, childhood friends born to wealth and position who go their separate ways and continue to share confidences. This memorable production features real life husband and wife, Colleen and Rob Horning for the tale of a couple physically apart, but spiritually as close as only true lovers can be. As the evocative, touching, and frequently funny letters are read aloud, it becomes clear that what is implied is as revealing and meaningful as what is actually written down. Saturday March 13 8 p.m. Wes gained national attention after becoming the most controversial contestant ever, on the ABC TV Series, "The Bachelorette". Hayden, the country music singer from Austin, Texas jolted to national celebrity status after his appearances on the popular show. Hayden has been featured in People Magazine, In Touch Magazine, Star Magazine, Us Weekly, and countless newspapers, radio stations, and national TV shows across the U.S. With the release of Wes Hayden's new album, "Full Circle", Hayden has captured the attention of the music industry and country radio stations. His powerful country voice and his unique songwriting abilities shine thru in this fine collection of 10 great traditional Texas style country songs written by Hayden. Hayden will be touring much of 2010 promoting his new album. His fan base continues to grow with every performance. "My goal is to write songs people can relate to, dance, sing, cry, laugh and be inspired by", remarks Hayden. His largest satisfaction is interacting with the fans and seeing their response to his songs. Wes Hayden is a true country artist brought here to bless everyone who listens to his music. Wes will be on the ABC program 20/20 Friday night March 12. Tickets are $10 for all events unless specified otherwise. For more information about these or any other Texas Theater performances call 972-937-1993. | |
