South Central Texas Rural Philanthropy Day speakers announced
South Central Texas Rural Philanthropy Day speakers announced
South Central Texas Rural Philanthropy is back and on November 3rd 2023, in La Grange Texas with featured speakers from all over Texas. This event will be hosted by the Fayette Community Foundation (FCF), a professional development conference which is designed to alleviate the strain on our local nonprofits. They plan to do so by building their organizational capacity and strengthening their relationships with variety of funders. The goal is that no longer will rural nonprofits have to spend hundreds of dollars to attend professional development conferences miles out of town, because many nonprofit organizations can’t afford the expenses to go. Also joining FCF is Title Sponsor, and the Stanzel Family Foundation in hopes to bring that education local while ensuring it stays affordable for rural nonprofits so they can attend. 08/09/2023 12:00 AM

74 years and counting
Merrill and Elaine Luman first married August 8, 1950 at the exciting age of 21. 74 years letter and these two love birds are as strong as ever. Merrill and Elaine Luman had two sons, Preston and Sean Luman as well as three grandkids. First living in the Houston area, Merrill moved to Columbus to start a community choir, while Elaine focused on researching and helping others place historical markers on their homes. When not helping others place historical markers on their homes, Elaine made a long career helping her community in another way by being a high school counselor. Merrill Luman worked in the Southern Baptist church as well. Please join us as we not only celebrate two individuals for an outstanding accomplishment but we also recognize the overall commitment, love, faith and sacrifice that it took to sub-stain something so beautiful for so long. From everyone here at the Colorado County Citizen, Congratulations on 74 years Elaine and Merrill Luman. 08/09/2023 12:00 AM
