Community Gathering at Alpha Ranch

The Lees Visit with other Storm Victims at a Community Gathering

Saturday night, the Liverett family, neighbors and close friends of the Lees, hosted a community gathering in Shoal Creek Valley to allow residents and tornado victims the opportunity to come together and grieve those loved ones lost, to obtain needed information for clean-up and rebuilding, and to help one another through this difficult time.

The evening began with an encouraging message from the Pastor of Hardin's Chapel, pointing everyone to the Lord for their refuge and strength.  Many government officials discussed what services were available and answered questions about debris removal and the restoration of the infrastructure.  The evening concluded with prayer and everyone singing Amazing Grace.

The Cattlemen's Association grilled delicious hamburgers and hot dogs for dinner, there was Bluegrass music in the air, and most importantly, everyone had the opportunity to visit with their neighbors and share stories of survival and loss.
