Nocona Sr. Center receives TNMP grant of $10,000
The Carpenter Shop in Nocona is one of six organizations awarded community safety grants to support response to COVID-19 and to assist senior citizens in areas served by Texas-New Mexico Power.
The qualifying 501(c)(3) nonprofits will be granted $10,000 each by the TNMP Fund to help cover costs of addressing the pandemic’s effect in their areas.
The Carpenter’s Shop grant will fund meals and delivery for senior and disabled community members, plus taking temperatures and providing safety tips and information updates on the pandemic.
“During COVID-19, many of our donations are down and we had to cancel fundraisers,” said Donna Culpepper, executive director of the Carpenter’s Shop. “This will definitely help us get through this spring.”
“We were pleased to see organizations have been stepping up and making an impact in response to how the virus is affecting their communities,” TNMP President Neal Walker said. “We look forward to learning about the fruit of their labors as this fight continues.”
Members of the Saint Jo City Council will meet in regular session beginning at 6 p.m. on June 17 in the Saint Jo Civic Center.
Items on the agenda include the following: Public comments, discuss and approve the proposed 2026-2027 budget of the Montague County Tax Appraisal District; call the 2026 municipal election; consider resolution to apply for grants for water infrastructure through Corlett, Probst, Boyd; review minutes and monthly financials and reports from committee and department heads.
Members of the Montague 4-H STEM Club shot off basic rockets as they were sent skyward on May 30. Each youngster had packed their own rocket, went through safety meetings and then set up their rocket for lift-off. Club Coordinators Tammie and Pete Rohde made sure all the safety protocols were followed by all the youngsters saw their rocket fly skyward before they ran to retrieve them to pack for a second go.
