​If you need holiday decorations you’re in luck! The P.E.O. chapter of the J.V. of Montgomery will be taking orders for fresh holiday greenery (wreaths and garlands) at the October Mix and Mingle on October 14th. The proceeds from the sales benefit women through grants, scholarships, and loans. Cash, checks and credit cards will be accepted. Pick up will be available in Bentwater after Thanksgiving.
