Working together to benefit the community

By Beverly Mobley, president

We received overwhelming support from the beginning of the project until the event itself on Saturday, Nov. 14. Because of this support, we were able to exceed our goal to raise $10,000 for playground and recreation equipment for the Asden Johnson Youth Protection Home at Brooks.
