"There is a light in the world, a healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may
encounter. Sometimes we lose sight of this force when there is suffering, too much pain. Then suddenly, the spirit will emerge through the lives of
ordinary people who hear a call and answer in
extraordinary ways"
Mother Teresa

General Hospital
MCHD welcomes new administrator. Welcome Mr. Voss we look forward to working with you in the coming years to bring good health care to those in our community.
Literacy Advisory Board
There is a growing interest in establishing a First Book-Matagorda
organization to get books into the hands of needy children.
First Book is a national nonprofit organization that works with local
communities to support children's literacy by ensuring that children have
their own books at home and develop a joy of reading and a love of
learning.
Because of the expression of local interest and the fact that there is a substantial need in the area, there will be an exploratory meeting to create a Local Advisory Board for the Matagorda County area. The meeting will be held on May 12, 2003 at 10:00 a.m. at the Bay City Service Center, 2105 Ave. M, Bay City, TX.
Please contact Kim Effenberger at 245-5852 or Brenda Harris at
245-2008 for more information.
