MARS HILL NEWS
by Tomi Henderson
Now that the public has had the opportunity to enjoy the new informational sign located at the Mars Hill Town Office, Rotary Club officials are asking individuals and families to participate in paying off the balance of the sign. The Rotary Club is asking families or individuals to donate a minimum of $100 towards the balance of the sign. To thank you for your donation, the club is giving donors the opportunity to place a name/names on the plaque to honor someone you would like to have remembered. Each $100 donation can represent an individual or couple.
The club’s hope and mission is to have the sign all paid for and the memory of your loved ones kept alive each time you view the sign. Thanking you in advance for your donation.
