The strong sense of community was further displayed through the involvement of numerous local businesses. Donna Lominack extended her gratitude to them saying, “A big thanks to the medical clinic board and their staff. Also, we had some outside businesses that helped with this project. We owe our gratitude to Dave Carson with Fulmer Heating, Cooling and Plumbing, Rich Security, John Paul Whitaker with Whitaker Floor Coverings, Bobby Sanders with Sanders Landscaping, Jesse Baker with W.E. Baker and Son Incorporated, Mel and Kimberly Kitchens with SERVPRO of Newberry and Laurens.”

Acknowledging Hard Work

In acknowledgment of her hard work and dedication, the Rotary Club presented her with a plaque of appreciation during the ceremony. Her relentless efforts are a testament to the participatory spirit and determination that characterized the entire project.

Looking Forward
