Area Briefs for July 31, 2008

July 31, 2008 12:50 pm

— EDITOR’S NOTE: In changing to a new format, the AEN staff hopes to print more briefs as space is sometimes limited. Each brief is located under the corresponding day and date headline in the order of the times. Each brief simply lists who, what, where and when for non-profit organizations and must be submitted at least five days before day of event. Briefs may be submitted by bringing them into the office, e-mailed to adanews@swbell.net or faxed to (580) 332-8841. Briefs will not be accepted over the telephone. Church-related briefs are published only on Friday’s religion page.
