MENTOR PROGRAM WINS FAIR BOOTH COMPETITION The Madison County Mentor Program won first place in the Fair Community Booth Competition this year at the Madison County Lions Club Fair. The exhibit highlighted three areas of the program: “It’s Easy to Become a Mentor; It’s Fun to Be a Mentor; and Mentors Make a Difference!” Shirley Aaron, director of the program, said, “Our wonderful mentors are currently befriending 171 students in the county’s schools. Although I am very thankful for this, we still have a long waiting list of students who want and need a mentor. I hope that the people who visited the fair exhibit will realize how easy and fun it is to make such a great difference in the life of a child.” For more information, call 706-338-3689 or by email mcmentor@madison.kl2.ga.us.
