Linden is doing great and by the time you read this update, we will have kicked off “Beyond Change”, our youth and young adult program equipping them for the future.
It became a common sight across many communities in Texas and the South in the 1940s and 1950s. Trucks would rumble down city streets spraying pesticides to eradicate mosquitoes. It was one piece of a larger puzzle that included research into vaccines and medications. And it was all a part of a major effort to eradicate a dangerous disease that had haunted the South for generations, the deadly scourge of malaria.
Linden continues to thrive even while larger cities continue to experience uncertainty in these unprecedented times.

Yesterday while cleaning up the backyard, dad and I decided we were tired of looking at the filthy dirty ole propane tank that had been sitting and growing crude for no telling how many years. Why don’t we try to clean it up? We both agreed it sounded like a solution to an ugly problem. Since its out of the way why don’t we try our hand at camouflaging it with a couple of light color paints? Sounded great to both of us. The grounds keeper got the power washer and did an amazing job readying the tank for its new look. With no clue how to paint camo, the internet and YouTube were the next steps to search. What would we do without YouTube? You can absolutely find anything you want to know “how-to” on YouTube. A little bit of study and then off to find appropriate leaves.
