According to scripture, in the book of John chapter 13, the word speaks of how the Lord washed the feet of his disciples to show his love for them and the importance of serving others. That’s just what the ladies of Teen Challenge did for residents of Autumn Leaves Nursing and Rehabilitation recently. A wonderful display of humbleness and love for others.

“I am proud to have grown up in Winnfield,” says Mike Crawford, Chief Bankruptcy Judge of the United State Middle District of Louisiana, who visited with Rotarians at the weekly meeting of the Winnfield Rotary Club on October 4, 2023. Mike was the son of Morris Crawford, who served in the Winnfield Rotary Club for many years, including serving as president in 1966 and attaining the status of Paul Harris Fellow in 1992.

According to Judge Crawford, his father instilled in him the importance of service to the community, which he has carried on in his adulthood by serving on the board of the Special Olympics of Louisiana and becoming the legal advisor to the board of the Special Olympics, which is, of course, an unpaid job. Having served in these capacities for over 15 years, Judge Crawford was named to the Special Olympics of Louisiana Hall of Fame. He currently serves on the board of the Baton Rouge Food Bank.

Have you been thinking of ways you can be a good neighbor? Next week is Good Neighbor Day, which can be a great place to start!

You may be considering having a neighbor over for coffee, or maybe your objective is to visit with the elderly neighbor who doesn’t get out much. Either way, a great thing to offer them is a sweet treat.

There are so many options you can choose from. Your choices boil down to what you love to bake. In our house, that usually means cookies. One of our favorites to enjoy are Oatmeal Cookies. This recipe has a little more zing to it with the addition of a few spices.

Thirty two students completed the Hunter Safety Course that was held at the WPSO Shooting Range on September 9. The final class that will be offered this year is scheduled for September 23.

The REAL ID enforcement date is approaching and the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles is encouraging residents to prepare now. Beginning on May 7, 2025, the only state-issued driver’s licenses and identification cards federal agencies will accept for official purposes are those that meet REAL ID standards. OMV is urging all residents to consider a REAL ID compliant credential when renewing their license or identification card. Residents who are not eligible for renewal can upgrade by applying for a duplicate license or identification card that is REAL ID compliant.

“All Louisiana residents should review the REAL ID requirements and plan accordingly. Do not wait until the last minute. Now is the time to prepare for the May 2025 enforcement date,” stated OMV Commissioner Karen St. Germain. A Louisiana REAL ID compliant driver’s license or identification card will display a gold circle with a star cutout in the top right corner.
