VIDEO DONATION — A television and a VCR on rollabout carts have
been supplied to the Levelland Development Center and to Hickory House,
along with a lockable cabinet housing 30 Southern Gospel Music video
tapes. Six additional videos have been ordered which will increase the
number to 36, both in these homes and for Lynwood Manor and the
Levelland Nursing Home. These are intended for check out by residents of
the homes for private viewing in their rooms or for public/group viewing.
All equipment and videos have been supplied by the business community
of Levelland. A very special thanks goes to the Levelland Ministerial
Alliance for sponsoring this project, to Higginbotham Lumber Company
for supplying materials for the cabinets, to Bill Gibson for building the
cabinets, to Parkinson Electronics for the donation of a new VCR, to Alicia
Hughes for engraving and lettering the equipment with the homes’ names,
and to the Levelland News-Press and KLVT for publicity. Finally, an extra
special thanks goes to Gaither Music Company for allowing the purchase
of the videos at a substantial discount for these residents’ enjoyment.

Gibson, Earl Melton, Lance May, pastor First Presbyterian and president
of ministerial alliance, and Dan Tarrant, LDC administrator. Pictured
