Mark Your Calendar Shirley Wright benefit There will be a benefit singing for Shirley Wright on Saturday, Sept. 23, 6 p.m. at the Clarke County High School in Grove Hill. Guest performers will include the Kelleys of Jackson, Good News of Grove Hill, Battle Creek Bluegrass of Castleberry and the Men's Quartet of the First Baptist Church in Fulton. For 30 years Wright has worked with the Baptist churches in Clarke County and served as the associational office clerk, with her husband Jack serving as director of missions. Wright has been diagnosed with bone cancer. She has begun an extensive course of treatment in Little Rock, Ark., one of the nation's leading centers for Wright's type of cancer. The overwhelming cost of the treatments, the expense of living away from home for such long periods of time and the incidental expenses that continue to mount have created a significant need. Everyone is invited to attend the benefit singing. Contributions can be made to Shirley Wright Benefit, C/O Bassett Creek Baptist Church, Grove Hill, AL 36451.
