CUTE AS A BUTTON PRODUCTIONS
Organizational fund-raising with Photo Buttons & Photo Magnet Calendars

Does your organization need to plan a fund-raising project? Photo buttons
and magnet calendars can be a fun and profitable fundraising source!

Organization members take orders for the buttons and magnet calendars.
I provide order envelopes for order taking. All I need is a "quality" color
photo from the person placing the order.

If you think a fund-raising project using my photo buttons & magnet
calendars would benefit your organization, please contact me via the info
listed below.

Provide your name, organization name & phone number or e-mail. I'll contact
you to arrange a meeting to explain the process in more detail. Thanks!

...A Chill in the Air; A Clearing Sky...

Colder and drier will continue to flow into Alabama on this Thanksgiving
day. Despite a clearing sky, temperatures will hold in the 40s most of the
day with a chilly northwest breeze. Then, by tomorrow morning, most
communities in north and central Alabama will drop into the 28 to 34 degree
range. For many spots this will be the first freeze of the season.

The big shopping day tomorrow should be beautiful with ample sunshine and
temperatures approaching 60 degrees by mid -afternoon.

THE REST OF THE WEEKEND: More quick changes as clouds return quickly on
Saturday, and a few passing showers are likely as a fast moving disturbance
passes through. Rainfall amounts should be relatively light, mostly under
one-half inch. Sunday should be dry and pleasant with a partly sunny sky.

NEXT WEEK: Looks like we will deal with occasional showers beginning Monday
afternoon all the way through Wednesday as yet another upper air trough
forms to the west of the state. At this time we do not expect a severe
weather threat with only limited dynamics.

HIGH WATER: The Cahaba River near Cahaba Heights is forecast to crest around
22.5 feet this morning, well above the flood stage of 14 feet. Relatively
minor flooding is expected in west Alabama along the Warrior and Tombigbee
Rivers through tomorrow.

SOAKED: At Huffman, the rain total yesterday was 3.30", and the total for
the past four days is a whopping 9.08". Other big rain totals yesterday
included 3.97" at Gardendale, 3.05" at Trussville, 2.80" at Greystone Cove,
2.46" at Calera, 2.32" at Vincent, 2.02" at Center Point, and 1.98" at
Alabaster.
