Rotary learns of Camp Grace
Pastor Dave Pridemore
told Fosyth-Monroe
County Rotary about
Camp Grace. In 2004 a
501 c3 was granted and
Camp Grace was born
partly out of the efforts
of Pridemore, who saw
the need for taking kids
from financially chal
lenged backgrounds
out the city to a high
quality camp where their lives would be changed forever. Camp Grace offers campers
leadership experiences, team skills, and fear management by offering a choice of two
activities each day ranging from a ropes course, climbing wall, zip line, swimming and
sports. The camp boasts of their Olympic-size pool featuring a 100-foot sliding
board. Coming soon is a 10,000 square-foot praise and worship center. For more in
formation on Camp Grace in Roberta check out www.thecampgrace.com. Pictured,

Camp Grace executive director; sponsored campers: Kermetrius, Jakayla and Ashan

City Hall needs roof repair
BY DIANE
GLIDEWELL
news@mymcr. net
Interim city administra
tor Janice Hall told coun
cil on Tuesday that city
hall is in dire need of a
new roof and that the
total cost will probably be
$100,000. Council mem
bers agreed that the
repairs must be done
soon, but could not agree
on how to pay for them.
The city received three
bids for a new roof.
Council verbally approved
Hall's recommendation
they accept the proposal
of $50,000 for a new roof
from Roofcore of Monroe
County.
"If we don't fix it, it may
cave in," said Hall.
Hall said the extent of
repair won't be known
until the old roof is torn
off. Hall said there had
been attempts to repair
city hall's roof over the
last few years, but every
time the leaks were
stopped they reappeared
somewhere else.
Hamlin Hills gives
proceeds to Cox
Lee Hamlin and his associates
at Roofcore International in
Forsyth say the first annual
Hamlin Hills Farm Fall Festival
on Hwy. 18 was a great suc
cess. They thanked all the par
ticipants for coming out and
having a great time. Hamlin
said they are donating $1,000 of
the proceeds to Haleigh Cox of
Forsyth, who is in Colorado get
ting treatment for seizures relat
ed to uncontrolled epilepsy.
