The Fourth Annual Pink Luncheon might still be a few months away, but the Parker County Health Foundation is already hard at work recruiting sponsors for the charitable event.

Scheduled for Oct. 9, the luncheon has gained in popularity over the last few years. All proceeds raised from the event stay in Parker County, and go to provide mammograms and screenings for the under-served women in the area.

Individuals, businesses, and organizations interested in sponsoring the event may choose from three levels of participation, starting at $100 individual seats, and going up to $1,000 “Pink Diamond” level recognized sponsorships.

“We’ve had great response in the past from the community, and we’re hoping that continues this year,” said Donna Kirkpatrick, executive director. “We’re really looking forward to this year’s luncheon.”

The featured speaker will be Janine Turner, an actress and the author of “Holding Her Head High”. Two familiar faces will serve as emcees for the event, Deborah Ferguson of NBC 5, and Weatherford College’s own Brent Baker.

For more information on sponsorship opportunities, contact Kirkpatrick at 817-594-1990.

Flooding at issue in other subdivisions
While much attention has been given to the Briarwood subdivision, located off of Santa Fe Drive in Weatherford, during the last two months storm water drainage issues have occurred in additional subdivisions and concerned homeowners. This has been an ongoing issue for many areas throughout the city.

Wildlife volunteers needed
Like any other mother, Donna Robinson has pictures of her “babies” on her phone.
“Let me show you,” she said eagerly. “I’ve got lots of pictures of the kids.”
She scrolls through the photos — there’s one of a squirrel with milk on its mouth after a feeding. Oh, there’s a cute one of two tiny possums looking over her shoulder as she feeds another “baby.” Aww, there’s the group of four raccoons named after the Beatles: Ringo, Paul, George and John.
Ok. She’s not your “ordinary” mom.

Water woes on floodplain in Weatherford
When Wendy Walling purchased her home in the Briarwood subdivision off of Sante Fe Drive in the mid-1990s, her son could easily jump from one side of the small creek behind the home to the other.
“My son was in fourth grade (when we moved in) and he could actually jump across the creek,” Walling said.
By 2007, however, Walling said the width of the creek had begun to expand.
“(The creek) can hold water now and before it never could,” Walling said.
