On Wednesday, Shepherd Library has Tales for Tiny Tots. Lately the Library was full of youngsters absorbing the fun of stories, games, snacks, song and dance and more.
Volunteers are gratefully welcomed and since the tots have their moms with them, they help out. Terri McIntyre, the director of the Library, told me how helpful Allyson Margison was and I enjoyed meeting her for lunch last week.
Allyson has two small children, a 2-year-old son and a 4-year-old daughter. Her husband is a Smart Home Tech, which means he is smart and he works on putting smart systems into homes. Allyson is busy with her family when she is not studying to become an early childhood educator. The family includes dogs, cats, chickens and guinea pigs.

• The Animal Control Shelter on Highway 2025 holds an Adoption Day on the fourth Saturday every month. All dogs have shots and have been spayed or neutered. They are ready for a new home and one who has been there a very long time found a wonderful new home recently when he was adopted by a veteran.
Cinnamon spent some time being trained to follow orders, something at which he has proved to be very good. His new owner needs to use a walker and Cinnamon is an excellent companion, no pulling or running here. Call the Shelter for more information at (281) 450-9007, leave a message if needed.
• The gift-giving continued this week with checks being given by the Women’s League to Shepherd Senior Center and the Education Support Group. Now the organizations will start the new year in September to begin again fundraising for others.
