Someone once said that being a journalist is like having a front row seat to history. Well, I've been sitting in that seat for more than 15 years and I want to share the view with you. Front Row will keep you informed of what's really going on in your community and across the nation. Send news tips, pictures, or videos to michellemccalope@gmail.com. I'd love to hear from you!

Save Lives, Save Money
Buy a Pink Shopping Card and save a life! It's a win, win, win for everyone. When you purchase the card for $50 you receive 20 percent off of your merchandise from selected retailers. The money raised will help fund Julie Rogers "Gift of Life" Program which provides educational awareness and free mammograms to the underserved in Southeast Texas. Participating merchants benefit too from an increase in sales. And the $50 is tax-deductible. The cards make great gifts. Cards must be used from October 22 to November 2, but they are available for sale now. If you'd like to purchase one, contact me at mccalope@gmail.com. A luncheon was held Tuesday to kickoff the program. Those attending included Regina Rogers, Alberta Jones, Gay Scott and Linda Domino who are chairing the project, Victoria Bonsall, Laura McMurray, Kathy Chessher, Gina Crenshaw, Allison Getz, Michele Smith, Courtney Horton, and Kathy Catalano.
