"Looks Like You Fed Your Face With Your Feet!" -- Book Signing Aug. 27th |
Fundraiser
for Toothpick Animal Rescue: A new no-kill rescue north of Collinsville.
And you get coupons for Scoops & Grinds.
August 27, 2011 9:00 am -11:00 am At Chic& Tiques, Quality Antiques, 1117 W. Main, Collinsville, OK 918 743-2490 Collinsville Librarian, Susan Babbitt, is proud to introduce her classmate, Marilyn Talley Rains, to Collinsville. Rains has just published her first childrens book called Looks Like You Fed Your Face With Your Feet! It is a silly book of rhyme that hopefully will be instructive in basic good manners for young children ages 3-7, Rains said. This by no means covers all area of mannerly efforts, she said, but hits some of the high spots in basic, mannerly living. Rains wrote the book as her children and their friends were growing up. The book is dedicated to her sons, her niece and nephew and her grandchildren. Chic & Tiques is featuring Looks Like You Fed Your Face With Your Feet! at a book signing Saturday, August 27 from 9:00 11:00 a.m. Rains said she looks forward helping raise funds for the no kill rescue, and meeting some new little friends. Paperback. $8 $1 from each sale donated to TAR. In June Rains was honored at a publishing party in Jenks to launch her publication. There she gathered the children outside on the lawn, asked them if they could provide some examples of good manners which, she said, proved to be entertaining, and then read the book aloud for the first time to her young audience. Rains graduated from Ponca City High School in 1966 and remembers English and Journalism as her favorite classes. She went on to major in Journalism at NOC where she was co-editor of The Maverick in 1967. She obtained her bachelors degree in Journalism Public Relations from the University of Oklahoma and worked in that field for more than 20 years before becoming a pharmaceutical and health care marketing representative. She lives in Jenks and is the mother to two adult sons, Matthew of Jenks and Brad of Los Angeles, and two grandchildren Coleman and Katie. All day 8-27-11 Chic & Tiques will host a used book sale for Toothpick Animal Rescue. There will be many single copies and sets of books by popular authors, western paperbacks, arts and crafts books, childrens books, and more. Explore the intriguing shop of quality antiques as you browse for books. Each person who stops by to meet Marilyn will receive a 10% off coupon to Scoops and Grinds located at the corner of 11th and Main. The Tri County Fair is in town so plan to spend the day in Collinsville. Will be a great day in the neighborhood! |

WWAH does not have room for animals from outside city limits I have 4 runs and take those I can to help out but I run it myself and vet all the pets so need some funds for health care. Kind of like a little sister to WWAH. I do have a Board of Directors and have applied for our 501 c 3 status. I will always be involved with WWAH especially in the fund raising area. 8/22/2011 Susan in answer to my question about the difference between "Toothpick Animal Rescue" and "Ward Wiseman Animal Haven". -- Ted |

again for the Library's annual Silent Auction. Janice Coke's program informed
members of a new cutting ruler with a diamond edge that sharpens your
rotary cutter as you work, and directions were shared on creating the
"Sophie's Star" patchwork design. Patti Schneider encouraged
members & guests to check out the new blog: www.collinsvillepatchworkers.blogspot.com
