My name is Debbie Pool. I am retired and live out on Lake Bob Sandlin with my husband Jim Pool and our dogs Skeeter and Honey. This Tea Cake recipe came from my grandmother Moma Nora. She always had these cookies in a jar whenever we visited her house.

Brookshire Grocery Co. (BGC) is proud to announce the establishment of the “Focus on the Future” scholarship program which is in partnership with more than 40 universities and colleges in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas. This more than $1 million donation is a substantial representation of BGC’s dedication to education and giving back to those who aspire to build a better future in the communities it serves. As part of this program, the Northeast Texas Community College Foundation recently received $25,000 to establish an endowed scholarship.

The Northeast Texas Community College Foundation recently received a $10,500 gift from International Sulphur, Inc. The funds will provide seven $1,500 scholarships to NTCC graduates transferring to a university to continue their studies. Since 2000, International Sulphur has given more than $115,000 for NTCC scholarships. This year they doubled their contribution to provide even more money to more students. Recent recipients of the scholarship include: Blake Denson, Jada Fisher, Victor Gonzalez, Tonya Hammonds, Dioseny Mejia and Christopher Perry (spring 2020 NTCC graduates).
