The Tekoa Christmas Fund committee

We would like to thank ALL the businesses and individuals who so generously supported the Christmas Fund in 2019!! We were able to assist 177 adults and children this year with a voucher for grocery shopping along with a ham and a turkey for each household! A donation was also made to the Tekoa Emergency     Fund in order to help those in critical need throughout the year. Thank you again for your generous support of our annual Christmas Fund collection! Chris & Liz Smith, and Shannon Mchargue.

 

HEALTHY Tekoa News!

Family Night Out focus is strengthening the bonds between students and community…and school… and family. Teens, family and friends will have a fun free night out playing “Trivia Books to Movies” at Tekoa Library on Friday, February 28, from 7-9 p.m. Teens and family, come out to play a new interactive game based on the most popular books and movies! Increasing a young person’s bond to school, community, and family can help him/her get better grades, have higher test scores, and make that person less likely to have emotional distress, drink or use drugs.


Messages from the Mayor~

     Welcome to February!  What wonderful weather we’re having…  (Errgh!)  I hope you and yours are enjoying our wonderful community.  I’m trying to stay positive by reminding myself that spring is just around the corner… I think… HA!

     I’ve got a few action items to report on this month: 

     I met with Sheriff Brett Myers last week to discuss more policing in Tekoa.  There will, of course, be more costs involved with having more than 20 hours per week.  The city council will need to discuss and approve if they want to proceed.  Sheriff Myers did tell me he has enough deputies right now to provide 30 hours per week if the Council decides to proceed.  Also, during my meeting with the sheriff, he told me if the community has questions or concerns regarding the Sheriff’s Department, you can email him directly at BrettM@WhitmanCounty.net

     The Snow.  Ugh…  Plows are a necessary evil to keep the roads open for all of us.  With that said, I’d like to remind everyone to watch for those plows when they come through.  If you can move your car so they can plow up to the curb, it makes everyone’s lives that much easier!  If you’re not able to move your car while the plow is going by, there will be a snow berm around it.  There’s nowhere else they can put that snow.  Also, if you’ve got a fire hydrant near your home, it would be much appreciated if you keep it cleared from snow in case there’s an emergency.  If you’re a morning person, make sure you wave to Duane when he goes by at 4:30 a.m.!

     The Tekoa Community Center is coming along.  Duane and Kevin have been in there over the last couple of weeks finishing up what needs to be done.  If you haven’t had a chance to stop by, you can peek in the new windows and see how much work they’ve accomplished in there.  I’m so excited that this project is expected to be completed in the next few weeks.

     Finally, it was a tough January for our Tekoa family.  I hope you find the time to hold your loved ones a little closer.  Give them an extra squeeze before you leave for work.  Spend a few more moments just enjoying your people.  For those families who lost loved ones, I’m so very sorry for your loss.  You’re in our thoughts and prayers.

     As always, I’m available.  You can reach me at TekoaMayor@Gmail.com.  509-428-9447 -cell, 509-284-2847 -home.

See you soon!

Troy
