(EU Davis Company, Inc., wants to take this opportunity to thank all of those people and organizations that have helped Perry, Houston County, and the surrounding communities cope with the devastating flooding earlier this month. While we, as a company, are very thankfid that we did not have major property damage at our businesses, and none of our employees were injured, we also realize the terrible impact that the floods did have on some people. It's at times like these when the true Southern spirit comes out, and over the past two weeks, we've seen many examples of that, from individual volunteers willing to give of their time and talent, to the many public, private, and community service organizations that rose to the challenge. Davis Company is pleased to recognize several of those that have played, and in many cases continue, an important role in flood relief efforts: CHIEF GARY HAMLIN and the PERRY FIRE DEPARTMENT... CHIEF FRANK SIMONS and the PERRYPOUCE DEPARTMENT...HUGH SHARP and the PERRY PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.. .
