Bert Cooper, the executive director of Community Seeds, a faith-based organization in Lone Oak, says a new class has begun for welders.  The organization has earned certification for the welding school, which means those completing the training will be certified welders.  Students must join the class not later than January 25,  Bert says.  Community Seeds' transitional housing for homeless or unemployed people is now full, with the prospect of another house being built in the near future.
