|
|
programs, while also maintaining the upkeep of its website, |
|
|
social media pages, yearbooks, and scrapbooks; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mrs. Greer has volunteered her time in behalf of |
|
|
the wider community by assisting with the coordination of a |
|
|
multitude of parades and other events, including festivities for |
|
|
the 150th anniversary of Hallsville's founding in 2019; known by |
|
|
the nickname "Mrs. Hallsville" by many, she has been honored as a |
|
|
Distinguished Alumna of Hallsville High School and as a Citizen |
|
|
of the Year by the Hallsville Chamber of Commerce; and |
|
|
