Fund-raiser’s fruition
 |
The Jackson County Cares initiative, which included a call-in fund-raising event, raised more than $30,000 to be divided between the American Red Cross, Hearts with Hands and the Salvation Army. Representatives from the event’s sponsors, local banks and agencies gathered at the Justice Center Tuesday (Sept. 27) for a check presentation. “We’re proud to have helped,” said Sylva Herald General Manager Steve Gray. “I think everybody involved did a bang-up job.” The Herald co-sponsored the effort, along with WRGC, county commissioners, WestCare and Western Carolina University. Those attending the presentation included, from left: (front) Tom Pethtel, Hearts with Hands; Glenn Bowen, WCU director of service learning; David Skinner, WRGC general manager; Roberta Crawford, county commissioner; Capt. Scott Lyles, Salvation Army Waynesville Corps; Becky Chastain, United Community Bank; Betsy Letterle, American Red Cross; Michele Garaski, WestCare; (back) Deborah Smith, Macon Bank; Julie Spiro, Jackson County Chamber of Commerce; Will Candler, WRGC; Dillsboro Mayor Jean Hartbarger; Gray; Hannah Smather, BB&T; and Ken Westmoreland, county manager. – Herald photo by Derek Hodges |
