COMMUNITY THEATER IN CABOT PLANS ITS SEASON
A new season for the Cabot Community Theater means new opportunities for anyone interested in the fine arts. The group, which has already staged successful performances of “Smoke on the Mountain,” recently elected its board of trustees and discussed new productions for the 2008-2009 season.
The Cabot Community Theater’s mission is to provide family friendly entertainment and to get the community involved.
Cabot Community Theater is open to anyone, with or without theater experience. Anyone who has ever wanted to give acting a try is encouraged to join, and there are other areas of stage production needing volunteers.
Cabot Community Theater members elected members to its board of trustees, including chairman Brian Wolters, vice chairman Priscilla Morris; secretary/treasurer Susan Garoutte and public relations/marketing coordinator Shann Nobles.
To find out how to become part of the Cabot Community Theater, visit the group’s Web site at www.cabotcommunitytheater.org or contact Wolters at 501-941-2038.

CABOT CHURCH OFFERS HELP IN TIMES OF NEED
The Cabot Church of Christ has established a critical incident response team to serve Cabot and other communities in times of need. The team is composed of a wide range of members from Cabot and Beebe, including the Cabot police and fire departments and the Cabot School District.
Dr. Henry M. Petree, founder and director of the Oklahoma Education Critical Incident Network and the Church of Christ Critical Incident Network, a nationwide response network, conducted the team’s certification training. The team has been trained to respond to acts of violence in schools, suicides, fatal vehicle accidents, tornadoes, floods and other incidents.
The team is intended to lessen the long-term effects of trauma and to reduce the chances of the development of post-traumatic stress syndrome. The process is not intended to replace therapy for those people in need of professional counseling.
The team’s services will be offered to police departments, sheriff’s offices, EMS workers, fire departments, schools, individuals and families. There is absolutely no charge for this service.
To request the services of the Cabot critical incident response team, call the church office at 501-843-5688 or Ron Chambers at 501-843-2045.
