Dennis Hooper, President of Perry Players said, "We have raised half of the $200,000 needed for the renovation of the building at 909 Main Street. Our financial history is excellent and we have a good plan for both the construction and the fundraising." The Perry Players are dedicated to those who are interested in acting, singing, dancing, or producing cultural entertainment. They pride themselves on reaching out to those who want to grow and develop confidence through personal experience and through learning from others. They don't require experience, they provide it!

Board Salutes Top Real Estate Agents The Perry Board of Realtors recognized award winners at the group's Annual Awards Dinner on Feb. 23 at the Houston Lake Country Club. Recognized as the Realtor of the Year was Jim Pensyl of Century 21 Town & Country. Anna Pritchett of Richardson- Free received the President’s Award following her year of serving in that capacity. The keynote speaker for the event was regional vice-president of the Georgia Association of Realtors Dale Washburn. He told the gathering that an important arm of the real estate organization is its lobbying group. "One important bill being introduced (in Congress) would require all homeowners to provide inspections for lead-based paint before closing (the sale of the home)," said Washburn. He went on to say that passage of such a bill would be disastrous to homeowners who have lead-based paint in their home because it would wipe out any equity they would have built up in their property over 10-15 year to have the paint removed. Others receiving honors included Million Dollar Club recipients Donnie Free and Scott Free of Richardson-Free, Lynward Barrett, Eugene Graham and Keith Seamon of Landmark Realty, Charles Malone of Home Place Realty, and Jim Pensyl of Century 21 Town & Saturday, March 5, 1994 Houston Times -Journal Concert, from 3A selections from a variety of stylistic periods.

Thompson, from 4A Keep your mouth shut and re member what mothers have been telling their children since the be ginning of time: “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” And, if you just can’t help your self, at least don’t say these things when someone has a video camera trained on you so that the whole world sees and hears you. You’re a public figure now. Don’t you have a public relations or image consultant that can keep you from doing and saying such stupid things? Apparently not. Because, if you did, they would have surely realized that the 16-year-old orphaned Baiul would quickly capture the hearts and sympathies of the world. And, surely, they could have told you that your poor sportsmanship would—especially in this case—make you appear not like a gracious princess at all, but a real first class snob with a heart as cold as the ice you skate on. Personally, I’m glad you didn’t win. Because even if your ability had warranted the gold medal, your attitude would surely have tarnished it! • Tennis Bracelets • Slide Bracelets • Layaway with no service charge • Jewelry & Watch Repair Service Your Home For High Quality Jewelry at Low, Low Prices.
