Good morning, Bryan.

The College Station Noon Lions Club opened its annual Christmas Tree fundraiser (November 26th) on Wednesday; the lot will reopen Friday and remain open through December while supplies last.

At the November 17 meeting, Bryan ISD school board members received an update on the education foundation that is bringing comfort dogs to three elementary schools.

Kemp-Carver principal Alison Boggan said comfort dog June is a one-year-old black Labrador and noted that additional dogs Mochi at Neal and Rhys at Sul Ross will be introduced in December.
