Local coordinator Tina Anderson invites everyone to participate as a rider or sponsor for the "Saddle Up for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital" to be held Sept. 29, with ride time to begin at 10 a.m.

First through third place prizes will be presented. All participants will receive a Saddle Up for St. Jude lapel pin.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital treats children with catastrophic disease and cancer. They are on the forefront of research and development. They treat children regardless of the ability to pay, insured or not. Operating hospital costs are astronomical. St. Jude is financed through fundraisers such as this. They primarily depend on donations to keep running.

Book signing set for Pembroke Public Library
J.G. Jakes, author of “The River’s Edge,” will have a book signing from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 1, at the Pembroke Public Library.
When asked to sum up in one sentence what kind of story “The River’s Edge” is, Jakes said, “It’s an altogether human story: love and hatred, regret and forgiveness, faith and consequences and a cross.”
“The River’s Edge” is about an evil man, a horrible murder, a miscarriage of backwoods justice and a young woman’s vow of revenge.
Jakes was born and raised in Shellman. She now is a retired school teacher.  
“It is my genuine desire to share the grace of God and encourage others as they continue on their Christian journey,” Jakes said.
