EMPLOYEES BATTLE IT OUT ON FIELD
Employees with the City of Midland continue their fundraising efforts today with a softball tournament.  Game play begins on Friday, August 17th at 7:00 p.m. with the tournament running through tomorrow.  All games will take place at Hildago Park, 1401 Orchard Lane. 

The tournament is part of the month long “Pacesetter” efforts by city employees.  They are helping to lead the way for the entire community.  Their goal is to raise $50,000.

Also taking place today is a BBQ lunch at the Midland Police Department.  Employees can pledge to donate $2.00 per pay period ($48.00) and eat free or donate $6.00 per plate. 

“COOKIES & CREAM”
Looking for a way to cool off in the summer heat?  The City of Midland will host a FREE event, open to the public, with plenty of ice cream for everyone.

The Scarborough/Linebery House, 802 S. Main, will be the site of the event on Thursday, August 23, 2007, 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.  The festivity is part of a year long list of activities celebrating “100 Years of Heritage.”  Midland’s second oldest house turns 100 years old this year (1907-2007).
