Moms do amazing things. In the workplace and in the home, moms make miracles happen every day. Make sure the moms in your life know how special they are by treating them to an incredible Mother’s Day brunch. We’ll teach you (and the kids!) how to make a delicious meal so that Mom can sit back and relax on her special day. Just don’t forget to wash the dishes too!

Come out for a night of music, food & fun. Great drinks, too. Band plays at 9pm.

Blueprint is a complimentary program offered by the WT Enterprise Center in partnership with America’s SBDC at WTAMU. Blueprint utilizes a visual chart to provide the framework for an entrepreneur to understand how to create, evaluate, and refine their business model while focusing on their value proposition.

The program will be led by both WT Enterprise Center coaches and America’s SBDC at WTAMU consultants. This blend of coaches and consultants provides both the technical components in business creation while also focusing on the entrepreneur journey being embarked upon.

Amarillo Public Library’s SocialRx program is a great opportunity for area residents looking to expand their horizons and their circle of friends.

The program is designed to introduce people to engaging opportunities available in our community. Each month, community organizations offer information about classes, volunteer opportunities, and clubs so interested individuals can explore the options.

At the September 11th, 2024 meeting:

--The Amarillo Chapter of the League of Women Voters will provide information on LWV membership, fellowship, and volunteer opportunities.
--ACTS Community will give us the scoop on the Senior Center and volunteer options.
--Amarillo Animal Management and Welfare will explain about ways to get involved in helping pets reunite with their people or find forever homes.

Each Social Rx meeting takes place on the second Wednesday of the month at 1 PM at the Downtown Library – located at 413 SE 4th. Come meet new people and learn new things! For more information, contact Program Specialist Cynthia Hunt at 806-378-6019.

Coming Thursday, May 15th, we have the very talented Dylan Bishop performing for us. After cutting his teeth in the blues scene in the Dallas area, Dylan has switched to an acoustic folk style right in the Guthrie tradition. I think you'll have a blast with Dylan. Save the date. May 15 @ 6pm. It's a donation show as usual. Put a little something in the jar if you can, if not, just sit back and enjoy.

Nashville Recording Artists and Grand Ol'e Opry STARS the Reeves Brothers FIRST Amarillo Show!

REAL COUNTRY MUSIC IS ROARING BACK TO LIFE WITH THE REEVES BROTHERS!

Literally raised in a roadside honky tonk, The Stagestop, where their father, Jack, played five nights a week, unrivaled Matt and Cole Reeves are rapidly becoming as familiar as your favorite pair of boots. One song! -You will forever be a fan of their unvarnished sound, and wonder how these New Superstars seem already so right at home in your life's soundtrack.
The Brothers' path to country music stardom began with rebellious solo pursuits, but family ties (and that ‘family-only’ harmony) led them to form The Reeves Brothers Band in 2016.
Their critically-acclaimed debut album was praised by The Las Vegas Review as "worthy of sharing a jukebox with Charlie Rich, David Allan Coe, and Merle Haggard" - with voices "as smooth as top-shelf bourbon."
Since then, they have:
Won the prestigious Ameripolitan Award for "Honky-Tonk Group of the Year" in 2018
Opened Justin Moore’s “Country On It” tour, in 2022, and started a run of over 20 dates with Craig Morgan on his God. Family. Country tour, in 2023
Taken the Grand Ol’e Opry by storm in September of 2024, when they debuted their new single “She Don’t Want a Cowboy”, with Craig Morgan.
