Close to 300 people packed the meeting room at the Region 8 Service Center last week in Pittsburg to listen to presentations and voice their concerns over the proposed Marvin Nichols Reservoir in the Sulphur River Basin of Northeast Texas, and to oppose its inclusion in the 2027 Texas State Water Plan. That number included Region D board members and a group from Region C. Experts at the meeting told the Tribune that the fact that Region C members attended suggests that the Marvin Nichols issue is getting more statewide and DFW attention.

In a heartwarming show of community support, members of the Pittsburg Lions Club gathered recently for an extraordinary presentation by Brian VanDePutte with Liberty Ranch Canine, based in Mount Pleasant, Texas. Known for his exceptional dog training expertise, Brian demonstrated a variety of service dog training skills, showcasing the bond and capabilities of his four-legged trainees.

On Tuesday, October 29th, Pittsburg DBC had a special guest from Arlington, TX, Laura Perez, Alzheimer’s Organization Rep. Laura presented a brief overview of Alzheimer’s disease and how our club’s participation is so important in supporting patient care, research, and caregiver support. Pittsburg DBC has participated in Alzheimer’s Longest Day for the past three years. We raised $2500.00 for the Longest Day in June 2024. Our club will be participating in the Winter Solstice, December 21, the darkest day of the year. The Winter Solstice “marks a turning point where each following day brings a little more light as we move toward the Longest Day and a future without Alzheimer and all other dementia.”
