Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, I believe the good people of Sealy just showed how wonderful they can be when they work together. Even those that no longer live there did remarkable things to get things done when Frank Lemanski passed away.

Dear Editor, With COVID-19 effects lessened on gatherings, worship time at Grace Community Church in Bellville changed as of Sunday, July 4. We are thankful for the businesses that cover the cost of having this page of worship announcements.

Dear Editor, We want to thank you and your team for participating in our first ever Springtime In The Country Chili Dilly Cook Off. We hope you had as much fun as everyone did.

Health needs neglected Dear Editor, During this past year and three months, because of COVID, our citizens have neglected to tend to their overall health needs. Doctors and hospitals have noticed a significant decline in routine check-ups.

Dear Editor, The Friends of the Legion, Post 442, here in Sealy, would like to extend a sincere and heartfelt THANK YOU to the Sealy Community and surrounding areas who have steadfastly supported our Monday Night Bingos at the Sealy American Legion Hall, our monthly BBQ Chicken Drive-Thru Dinners and our Lenten Fish Fries!

We have had over $30,000 of charitable donations in the last nine months and over $110,000 of community improvements in the past 24 months.

Thank you, Cole, for creating this quick reference column in the Sports pages. Those of us who do not have school-age children any longer, but care about our local teams may not retain how any one school’s soccer, tennis, baseball, etc., team has been doing throughout the season. Your column begun this year is a great help in feeling up to date and to be knowledgeable when speaking with or encouraging individual sportsmen and women. I also enjoy the colored sports pages. Thanks.

Texas Independence Day became “a day of infamy” when Abbott announced March 10 businesses could operate at 100% and he’s rescinding the mask mandate. Possibly, Abbott has taken leave of his senses; maybe he’s ignorant of the science and medical advice.

Dear Editor, Our local Sealy Knights of Columbus Co. 3313 manned the local Warming Center at the Sealy Columbus Club Hall to help out stranded citizens during last week’s weather event.
