Letter to the editor – Bike donation figure reported incorrectly
Jeff Stegall | www.tdtnews.com
I wanted to clarify a recent misunderstanding concerning a generous bike donation to Feed My Sheep Temple.
A letter to the editor on Tuesday stated that we received a donation of $14,000 to purchase 15 bikes. This rightfully created concern over the price of the bikes as this would make them roughly just under $1,000 apiece. The actual donation was for $1,400 and with this we purchased 15 bikes making them roughly $93.33 a piece which is a very good value in today’s economy.
I know it is not a large matter, but as executive director of Feed My Sheep Temple, I wanted to clarify this misunderstanding as good use of financial donations is very important to our organization.

Trying out a new route. The I45 intersection sucks! The road planners should be shot. No consideration for anything other than cars including pedestrians. Very poorly designed with no sidewalks. There is a high school on that intersection with many kids crossing those streets dangerously. This seems to be the general approach here and I have seen this elsewhere. This makes me sad that I live in Texas.
