You may pick your Santa Secret or Silver Angel card at the Hughes Springs city hall. If you would like to help a needy child in the area, drop by city hall and pick up a card with a child’s wish list and needs for this Christmas season. Silver Angels, residents from the two local nursing homes, will also have cards on the tree. The cards will have the information on when items purchased should be returned to city hall, with the items wrapped and the child’s or senior adult’s number on the gift. Presents need to be brought to City Hall by Dec. 16. For further information, call 903-639-7519.
