Thursday Literary Club dedicates bench for its centennial
Members of the Nocona Thursday Literary Club are proud to announce the centennial celebration of its founding as an organized women’s club.
Several projects have been prepared to mark this historic occasion.
The club will host a private memorial meeting for members and former members on Oct. 3. At that time the summer-long writing project, sharing the club’s story aligned with the story of Nocona through the decades, will be presented.
After that meeting, around 4:15 p.m., a park bench commemorating the event will be dedicated in Mary Beckman Davis Park and a display of club memorabilia including some club yearbooks from the 1930s and 1940s will be on view at the Nocona Public Library, 10 Cooke St. through the month of October.
Starting on Oct. 4 a selection of historic posters will be on display in the store windows of the generous merchants on Clay Street in downtown Nocona.

The staff of Wise Hope Shelter and Crisis Center Montague County will present a candlelight vigil for Domestic Violence Awareness Month at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 8 in the Legend Bank courtyard. The public is invited to attend.
Hymns for the Hungry is an event led by Bowie First Methodist Church to benefit God’s Table, a food ministry program led by First Freewill Baptist of Bowie to feed hungry families six nights a week.
This event allows surrounding churches to share their gift of music to benefit God’s Table. This year’s Hymns for the Hungry will be 5:30 to 8 p.m. Oct. 27 at the Bowie Community Center.
Admission fee is $1. Last year, this event raised $8,000 and it is vital revenue to support God’s Table which is manned primarily by volunteers.
Six churches will be represented at this event and your presence is required. “Meal deals” of a hot dog, chips, and drink or “walking tacos” and drink will be served for $5. Dessert is by donation. Cakes will be auctioned intermittently throughout the event, and anyone is welcome to bring one to donate. Drawings for gift cards to local establishments will also take place. All proceeds will go directly to God’s Table, which is now feeding approximately 150 people each night.
For more information, please call or text Jarae Scruggs @ 940-841-1212, or you may also call the BFMC office directly at 940-872-3384.
