Desiree Webber, Justin Battles & Gloria Shotwell

Everyone is invited to the Mustang Senior Center New Year’s Eve Party on Sunday, December 31, from 8:00 p.m. to midnight. There will be no alcohol. Bring your favorite snack. There will be music, food, and good fellowship. Let’s bring in the New Year together.

The Mustang Public Library provides free WI-FI access throughout Town Center. Bring your laptops and work in the library. Schedule your next business meeting or conference at Town Center and utilize access to the Internet via your own equipment. The library also has four stations with Cat-5 cabling. If your laptop does not have a wireless card, you are welcome to use one of these four laptop stations. For more information, please contact the library at 376-2226.

If you are thinking about purchasing a new car, you will want to read the 2007 Fuel Economy Guide published by the U.S. Department of Energy. The guide gives the miles per gallon plus the estimated annual fuel cost for various car models, including those that are ethanol flexible-fuel vehicles.

The Friends of the Mustang Public Library would like to thank the following businesses who supported the annual Cowboy Christmas Ball fundraiser: All Season Building Supply, Beth Allen (Marolyn Pryor Realtor), Bronco Stop, Cossey’s Custom Cut Meats, DJ Ranch, Hair Razzors, Mustang Flowers and Gifts, Mustang Rotary Club, Noreta’s Catering, and Westlake Hardware. Their generosity and support of literacy and education are much appreciated.

Youth Services Librarian Patty Young has started a Teen Advisory Committee. Young people ages 12 to 17 will meet to discuss what programs, services and materials that the library could provide for teens. The first meeting will be held Tuesday evening, January 23, at 6:00 p.m. Pizza and soft drinks will be served. Teens interested in serving on the committee should come by the library and complete an application. For more information contact Patty at pyoung@cityofmustang.org or call 376-2226.

The Oklahoma Watercolor Association Traveling Art Show will exhibit award winners during the month of January at the Mustang Public Library. Some of the pieces on exhibit include “The Governor’s Veranda” by Lynden Wilcoxson, “Foul Ball” by Terrell Roos, and “Winter Tapestry” by Ramona White.

The exhibit is co-sponsored by the Mustang Library Board of Trustees and the Mustang Chamber of Commerce.
