Working together to benefit the community
By Beverly Mobley, president
Our fourth annual "Noel November A Celebration of
Trees and Wreaths" proved to be an excellent example of the
people of this area working together to benefit our community.
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.
