MART, school
resource drive
under way
The Madison Area Resource team
is sponsoring its seventh-annual
"Madison County Back to School
Supply Drive" in June and July.
A back-to-school rally for low-
income families will be held
Thursday, July 30, at the Madison
County Freshman Academy cafeteria
(old middle school). The rally
will consist of a hot dog supper,
entertainment and family enrichment
information booths. As last year, the
basic school supplies collected during
the drive will be handed out to the
school age children at the rally. The
remaining supplies collected will be
divided and distributed to each of the
schools in Madison County where
school officials will distribute to
students on an as-needed basis. "We
cannot do this alone,” organizers
said. “Therefore, we are asking the
area churches, local businesses and
organizations to participate. How can
you help? You may establish/sponsor
a school supplies drop-off location,
or you may want to send a monetary
donation toward the collection of
supplies or the event. All donations
are appreciated.”
Donations can be sent to the
Madison County Family Connection
office at P.O. Box 1034, Danielsville,
GA 30633, and made payable to:
M.A.R.T. - Back to School Supply
Drive. Also, donated supplies may be
dropped off at the Family Connection
Office or any county extension office
at 103 Sunset Drive in Danielsville.
For more information, call Ryan
Melton, coordinator, at 706-795-
3565.
