CHAPPELL HILL GARDEN CLUB DONATES $3,000 TO WASHINGTON CO. EMS

  

An organization promoting beautification in Chappell Hill has donated to Washington County first responders.

The Chappell Hill Garden Club gave Washington County EMS a donation of $3,000 on Tuesday, during Washington County Commissioners Court.

Garden Club President Dale Ramey recalled the care EMS provided to her late husband, Bobby, saying they were very compassionate and supportive.

 

Some of the Garden Club’s projects include maintaining the flower beds in front of the post office and other areas along Main Street in Chappell Hill, as well as the flags at the intersection of Highway 290 and FM 1155.

Ramey said the group recently donated supplies to help firefighters during the fires at Lake Somerville, and gave away over $14,000 in scholarships this year.  Its main fundraiser is the Christmas Home Tour in December.

Commissioner Candice Bullock said the Garden Club is a very active organization that “does a lot of really wonderful things for our community.”
