Cruisin’ the East End
Serving Pipe Creek, Lakehills and Mico

The Bandera Prophet
ST. PATRICK’S DAY is celebrated on Thursday, March 17, the death date of the patron saint of Ireland. The day commemorates St. Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, as well as the heritage and culture of the Irish. Observances include parades, festivals, the wearing of the green and shamrocks (three-leafed clovers). It is widely celebrated around the world. The Irish say, “On St. Paddy’s Day everyone is Irish.” Wishing an old Irish blessing to all, “May neighbors respect you, trouble neglect you, the angels protect you, and heaven accept you.”
LAKEHILLS COMMUNITY CENTER’s Annual Membership Drive & Dinner on March 10 was well attended by over 100 people. The barbecue meal was delicious and the Center raised needed funds.
The Center hosts many activities for our community: community meetings, Children’s Christmas Party, seminars, exercise classes, family activity nights, blood drives, crafts classes, New Year’s Eve Dance, food distributions, bread making, 4-H meetings, Thanksgiving dinner, Walk Through Bethlehem, and others. It is home to the Cajun Festival every year, which is its principle fundraiser. And it is available to rent for special events, meetings or presentations.
