Commerce Police Collecting
Items For 'Mayors' Motorcade
Commerce will do its part to
make the Christmas season spe
cial for residents of the state’s
mental health and retardation
hospital.
For 49 years, cities across
Georgia have helped patients at
Georgia’s seven regional mental
health and retardation hospitals
enjoy the holidays through the
Mayors’ Christmas Motorcade.
The program, begun by the
Georgia Municipal Association
(GMA) in cooperation with
Gov. Ernest Vandiver, relies on
citizens in each city to donate
gifts for the patients, many of
whom would not receive gifts
or be recognized without the
Mayors’ Christmas Motorcade.
According to hospital staff,
many of the patients have lived
their most of their lives and have
little, if any, support or contact
with friends and family.
Donated items from
Commerce will be delivered to
the Georgia Regional Hospital
on Dec. 5. Civic organizations,
businesses, churches, schools,
scout troops and individual citi
zens are asked to donate gifts for
the event. For more information,
contact Lt. Ken Harmon of the
Commerce Police Department
at 706-335-3200.
