Our summer has started out very busy, which is a good thing. At our April and May business meetings we voted to donate to five McIntosh County area volunteer fire departments, with each receiving $500. We are so happy to help those who help keep us and our property safe. It is such a privilege to donate to local fire departments who rush in to help at a moment’s notice.
