Events such as this are good for the communities involved and for families/students in need. Kudos to Mayor Hawkins and others, including churches, involved in making this happen. Thank you!
I’d love to see all local leaders, politicians, churches, schools, businesses, Chambers of Commerce and other citizens who can be involved in such events do so. Positive interaction and events such as these bring people and communities together. Everyone can benefit in one way or another. We all need more of this.
I am sooooo happy for the town of Century! Finally a mayor that cares for the CITY! Many children will have a great start thanks to mayor Hawkins!
Yes get those children in school with a set of clothes, a backpack, and some supplies. You know, I think what we are going to see in Century is a coming about of recognizing that to make the community work, it’s not just one type of thinking, one type of person. It is OUR town.
I also support the community minded, people minded Mr. Mayor. and to Dorrie, I note the words “unity” and “every”
I’m in.
I need to move to century so I can vote for this Mayor. These children will remember and they are the future of Century.
I must applaude the Mayor of Century , I saw him several times yesterday making sure EVERY Child Got what they needed to start the Year and If it wasn’t in the book bag He did his best to find as much as he could to make the list even shorter..
Say what you will , but Yesterdays supply give away was A SUCCESS, And I saw Unity ,
Something this Town needs more of .. THANK YOU MR.MAYOR!!
