Social media group helps family with Christmas

A relatively new Facebook group worked together this holiday season raising and delivering more than $500 worth of items for a family in need in Nocona.
The group, Freakz & Geeks, assisted a family that includes four children ages three, two, one and three months. They were so pleased with the support they want to make it an annual event.
This primarily social media group was created in April by Aaron Schulman, after he moved to Bowie three years ago. With what he calls, “relatively nerdy interests,” and not knowing anyone, he wanted to find an outlet that could allow interaction with new people of similar minds.

A BOIL WATER NOTICE remains in effect for the 800 block of Lively Street. Affected residents should use bottled or boiled water for drinking, cooking, or brushing teeth. If you are impacted by this notice and need bottled water, please call the City’s Emergency Management Coordinator at (940) 977-4941
The heat advisory that has been in place all week continues until 8 p.m. Friday night.
The National Weather Service reports strong high pressure overhead will bring triple digit high temperatures along with heat index readings approaching 110 degrees for much of next week. To reduce risk of heat related illnesses when outdoors, schedule frequent breaks in shaded or air conditioned areas, and stay hydrated.
Make sure to check on your older neighbors to make sure they are staying cool and hydrates, and make sure pets have shade and water.
