 It is the month of June,
The month of leaves and roses,
When pleasant sights salute the eyes,
And pleasant scents the noses.

LIONS CLUB GOLF TOURNAMENT 
 
The 14th annual Murray-Beaver Lake Lions Club Golf Fundraiser Tournament will be held Saturday, June 14, 2014 at Lakeridge Golf Course, Beaver Lake, NE.  This fundraiser helps the Lions Club provide services to the Murray-Beaver Lake community in many ways. 
 
The Lions Club helps provide support for those needing eyeglasses, hearing aids, and other essentials for a good quality of life.  The club also provides assistance to Conestoga students for school activities and the pursuit of excellence.  
  
The 2012 tournament enabled the Lions to contribute to the development of Cougar Hollow at the elementary school and 2013's tournament went toward scholarships to graduating Conestoga students.  Scholarships were also granted to two seniors this year from the Lions. 
 
Please try to get a team together for this tournament.  It's for a good cause! 
Remember that the Lions is a service organization and we are always looking for new members who would like to help their community. 
 
THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

 A lug is a measurement to measure produce.  A lug of peaches would be around 25 pounds,  less than a bushel.  That would make a lot of peach pies or jam!

Cass Classifieds Everywhere 
 

All of the Cass County and surrounding communities will be able to post FREE any buy or sell ads for general merchandise such as mowers, baby cribs, cars, computers and real estate right here.   See the 'CLASSIFIED ADS' tab above.  
 
 We especially hope that the Classified Ads will be used to post jobs, look for positions, and post special events, birthdays, church events and garage sales.  Certainly there are lots of places on the Internet to post ads, but some folks are uncomfortable with using EBay or Craigslist.
 
 Step 1:  You do need to have an account, and an email address to manage your ads. You will be notified to renew your ad, you can change info, pricing, and pics as long as you have this account.
  
 Step 2:   Create an ad, indicate where it is, i.e.  Murray, Eagle, Louisville, etc.  and post it.
  
 Step 3:   Wait for approval. We will approve ads ASAP.  We need to make sure that it is a real ad, and if anything needs editing, we will do so.
  
 Step 4:  Post it to Facebook if you like! 
 
 Ads will now show everywhere, regardless if it was posted in Elmwood, Alvo or on any other of our community websites.   Ads will also be Goggle/Twitter searchable as well as location, travel directions searchable. 
 
So, get cracking!  Create that account, and post everything in your garage and basement!
 
If you need some assistance TEXT us at 4029680821.

Lofte 2-1 
  
"Dearly Beloved" OPENS LOFTE'S 38th SEASON  

 
The Lofte Community Theatre in Manley is now presenting "Dearly Beloved" on their main stage. 
 
 Frankie has almost made herself sick with the elaborate preparations for her daughter's antebellum wedding, and the rumor mill in little Fayro, Texas is working overtime. Frankie and her sisters are no strangers to gossip. They had a scandalous breakup of their almost-famous gospel trio, 'The Sermonettes.'  
 
 Despite Frankie's conversations with her dead mother, Honey Raye's habit of racing to the altar time after time, and Twink's own struggle to get her boyfriend of 15 years down the aisle, Frankie is determined to pull off this wedding with elegance and style. However, this is made more difficult when the wedding dinner is turned into a potluck supper sponsored by Clovis Sanford's House of Meat and gold lame gowns are worn to the church!

Directed by Kevin Colbert, the cast stars Chris Werger of Eagle; Alyssa DiPaolo of Lincoln, Shari Hoelker, Doug Rothgeb, and Randy Wallace of Omaha; Keri Hogue of Elmwood; Wendy Allen, Pat Billings, Bret Tincher and Melinda Mead of Plattsmouth and Kevin Colbert of Weeping Water.

Production dates for the show are June 6-8. Curtain times are 7:30pm, except for Sundays which are 2pm matinees. Single show tickets are $19, but you can buy a season pass for $65 until June 8. The season pass entitles one person admission to all five regular season shows in 2014. Call the Lofte box office at 402-234-2553 or purchase  online at www.Lofte.com.
