Club member Tim McLean led the group in gathering sports cards for local youth. Over 200,000 cards were collected. Volunteers compiled the cards into packs of 100, and the cards were distributed to organizations serving area youth. Also, Lee County Sertoma Club members sponsored Christmas for a Lee County family. Admission to the annual holiday party was in the form of a donated gift. At the party, members shared holiday joy and passed it on to others by preparing cards for residents of Lee County Health care. Pictured is J.K. Barnette (right) presenting DEFACS staff members Janice Hall and Kathy Turner with packs of cards to be distributed.

Skirball Institute's 2000 Essay LEE COUNTY Invitation to Bid Sale and Removal of Houses on County- Owned Property December 4, 2001 The Lee County Board of Commissioners was awarded approxi mately $8,800,000 in federal funds to purchase 84 houses that were damaged by the 1998 flood. So far, Lee County has purchased 47 (56%) of these houses and most of them have been rebuilt and are in reasonably good condition. The county is in the process of pur chasing the remaining houses when the property owners are ready to sell them. Federal rules require the county to demolish or re move the houses after they are purchased and return the property back to natural open green space. In addition, the county must own the real property in perpetuity and no other structure can ever be built on the property . The Lee County Board of Commis sioners is accepfing sealed written bids for fhe sale of 8 of these houses (not the real property). The successful highest bidder must then move the houses off the property and relocate the houses elsewhere and outside the 100 year flood plain. Scope of work, general conditions, bid form, and information about each house are available at the Lee County Clerk's Office, 104 Leslie Highway, Leesburg, Georgia 31763 Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., or by calling (229) 759-6000 or by visiting the county's web site, www.lee.ga.us then clicking on the Bids/RFP button. If you choose to submit a written bid on one or more of the houses, your sealed bid must be marked, "Sealed Bid - House Sale" and delivered to the Lee County Clerk's Office at 104 Leslie Highway, Leesburg, Georgia 31763 no later than 2:00 p.m. on Friday, De cember 28, 2001. All bids will be opened during a public bid open ing on Friday, December 28, 2001 at 2:05 p.m. in the County Clerk's Office. You are invited to attend this bid opening.
