The Village of Robeline held a special meeting last week. The council voted to hire Ms. Suzanne Williams as a grant writer for the Village. Besides new opportunities for the Village, I’m sure she’ll be a help with the administration of the grants we’ve already received.
The Village is also gearing up for Christmas in the Park on December 20. They’re currently accepting vendor and parade applications. If you have any questions, contact numbers are listed on the parade form. Come join us for a fun time in Robeline.
I’m happy to report that the first two Robeline cats have made their trip to the vet to be spayed and/or neutered. This is through the F.A.U.N.A TNR program. Anyone around town can see we have an ever growing cat population. Through this program feral and semi feral cats are trapped and transported to a local vet to be neutered/spayed. They’re then returned to where they were trapped. Doing this helps stabilize the population and stops the rapid breeding cats are capable of. Anyone in the parish can apply for a voucher, whether it’s a colony or single cat. F.A.U.N.A. also does vouchers through their Spay Natchitoches program for personal pets.
