Boxes delivered, but Friendly Fellow Club still taking donations

Boxes have been packed and food distributed, but donations are still being accepted by the Friendly Fellow Club. While the club’s annual Christmastime assistance has already been given out for 2020, local residents can still give money to help as the club prepares for the 2021 portion of the program. FFC officials have noted that applications are up 50% and distribution has increased, which also resulted in an increase in costs related to more boxes and also rising food costs, which means the club is in need of more donations to ensure they can meet their expenses. Donations can be mailed to P.O. Box 325, Athens, TN 37371-0325 or can be made via credit/debit card or PayPal on the Friendly Fellow Club website, friendlyfellows.org, by clicking the Donate button at the bottom of the page.

Food heritage of Lee County

Since 1986, the Farm-City Week Ladies’ Luncheon has taken place in early December. This event brings together Lee County residents to enjoy the fellowship of a community meal. Each year, enthusiastic committee members arrange the table decorating contest, decide on a relevant educational speaker and plan a delicious meal. To prepare for this article, we spoke with two of the committee members, Mildred Smith and Lynda Turbeville, to hear their thoughts on food heritage in Lee County. Shortly into the start of the interview, Lynda noted how one of the most popular parts of the luncheon is the cookbook that contains our communities’ favorite recipes. These cookbooks represent the heritage of Lee County and reflect the traditions, history, and culture of our diverse community.

A Blessed Man

Both represent hearts and are placed on the top of his hands. The first one, on his left hand says, “Thou has lived 12-21-29 Thou art blessed.” The second one, on his right arm, reads: “Ain’t it Great Love to ride Harley.” As he marks his 91st birthday on Dec. 21, Davey says he is happy he had the tattoos done a few years ago as they express his joy of life. “I look at them every day, many times a day,” he said. He considers himself blessed and he loves his Harley trike, which he calls “My Honey.”
