Wagener Women's Well Summer Activities

The Wagener Women's Well has begun a new 6-week Bible Study that started on the last week of July.  If you missed the original meeting, you are still invited to come to any session you can.  The women are studying Priscilla Shirer's book and video series, "Discerning the Voice of God."  Weekly meetings are held Mondays from 6-8 pm and Tuesdays, 10:30 - noon.  Women are welcome to attend either day each week, according to your schedule.  Priscilla is the daughter of Tony Evans and has become a dynamic Bible teacher.  Several women turned out for the first meetings, despite the heat, and they enjoyed good study, conversation and refreshments.

The Women's Well is open every Tuesday and Thursday from 9 - 3.  All women are invited and welcome to join in the fun, fellowship and teachable experiences (sewing, quilting and Bible studies).

Clara, Eartha, Alberta, Patricia and Jesse have been quilting a new quilt.  It is a star pattern in shades of purple, with a white background.  Feel free to stop in and take a peek.  The women ("regulars") at the Women's Well just love to get their hands on pretty material and can't wait to tear through a new donation box of cloth.  It's fascinating to hear all the ideas of things that can be crafted from plundering through a donation box.  Creativeness comes natural to these ladies, having done this most of their lives, mostly as a necessity, some from careers in sewing factories.  They can make beautiful quilts from scraps, tote bags and aprons, too.  If you'd like to learn, drop by and talk to them a little, set up a class and some practice time on the sewing machine.

Lack of Digital Wagener Monthlies

Those of us working behind the scenes on the Wagener Website would like to apologize for the lack of digitalized Wagener Monthlies on our site.  This has been a service offered freely from the Aiken Standard which many of our long-distance viewers have loved and appreciated.  We're sorry to say that we've been experiencing technical difficulties in the process of receiving the Wagener Monthlies from the Aiken Standard.  As often as possible, we will publish the paper on our site; however, it isn't always possible.  Please understand the delays.  As always, the Wagener Monthly will continue to be printed at the end of each month and found in print form at various areas around town, including the library and post office.  Thank you for your patience.

Wagener's Digital Sign

If you would like to place an ad on Wagener's digital sign at the stop light in town, please call town hall.  The cost is $10 per day with your ad receiving 1400 - 1500 views per day.  Notices run from 12:00 am - 12:00 a.m.  We need a two-day advance notice prior to placing your ad on the sign.  Ads can be personal, too, such as birthdays, anniversaries, family reunions and church events.

Dr. Deborah Bass Says Goodbye to A.L. Corbett Middle School

courtesy Wagener Monthly

Wagener would like to thank Dr. Debbie Bass for serving our community as Principal of A.L. Corbett Middle School for the past 12 years.  Bass started her professional career in public relations.  When she was asked to substitute at A.L. Corbett, the experience eventually led her to pursue an education certificate.  Bass taught at several schools and spent six years as a USC Aiken professor before returning to the school district.  She was an assistant at A.L. Corbett before becoming principal 12 years ago.

"It's been a wonderful experience with a great community and great kids," Bass said.  "There's been a lot of support for moving from where we started.  I think we've done a successful job in securing resources for a school our size and in a rural area." 

Bass would like to resume writing on a regular basis, perhaps in the form of short stories.  Bass is also interested in providing the public more and better information about what is going on in the schools.

"This is my time to conclude this part of my career," said Bass.  "I wish the very best to everybody.  This is a great school, which I call 'a diamond in the rough.'"
