Keep Brining Food To The Fort Mill Care Center
Published December 19, 2009A message from Jan Arnold at the Fort Mill Care Center . . .
The food bank has been truly blessed by our community. Between mid October and the end of November we have received over 60,000 pounds of food which included 2 scheduled food drives (Girl Scout +9,000 pounds and Boy Scouts + 9,000 pounds) Food is still coming in. I am excited to live in a community that cares this much about others needing help. If past history continues, I expect donations to drop off sharply after the first of the year. This food will have to last until mid May when the Post Office has there food drive. We are still giving out 4500+ pounds a week. I do not see this changing.
Fort Mill School Board Approved Lacrosse At Fort Mill High School
Published December 9, 2009
Monday night the Fort Mill School Board approved Lacrosse as a varsity sport for 2010.
The following events took place prior to the school board vote this week:
In October, 2008, The South Carolina High School League (SCHSL) sanctioned the sport of lacrosse in South Carolina High Schools. After careful consideration and financial exploration, Fort Mill High School, its principal Dee Christopher and Athletic Director Bailey Jackson, proposed to “take on” lacrosse as a girls and boys varsity and junior varsity spring sport in 2010. The Fort Mill Lacrosse Club donated nearly $9,000 to start lacrosse in the high school, and, when added to the almost $4,000 already put aside from 2009 gate recipients, the high school holds nearly $13,000 to launch lacrosse, well in excess of the $10,000 estimated startup cost. Additional revenue will be generated from 2010 gate receipts, corporate sponsorships, corporate matching gifts and transportation fees. With 25 players per team, lacrosse will provide the opportunity for at least 100 student-athletes to play a spring sport – in the first year alone.
Tom Salerno, President of the Fort Mill Lacrosse Club said; Continue reading
