Only one issue of The Happenings in August
Welcome to August
Unless you are a Leo or Virgo, August is the worst month of the year. It's also usually the hottest month of the year, plus there are no National Holidays to provide us the option of a three-day weekend! Some other bummer facts about August... Elvis died in August and so did Marilyn Monroe. It's the month Princess Diana met her tragic death while being chased by paparazzi. And worse yet, the 19th Amendment was ratified (That's a joke, ladies!! Just a joke!) Hurricane Harvey made an appearance in August and became one of the most devastating hurricanes on record.

Please familiarize yourself with the best route to take if you need to evacuate. See more on page 34....
