Boxes have been packed and food distributed, but donations are still being accepted by the Friendly Fellow Club.
While the clubâs annual Christmastime assistance has already been given out for 2020, local residents can still give money to help as the club prepares for the 2021 portion of the program.
FFC officials have noted that applications are up 50% and distribution has increased, which also resulted in an increase in costs related to more boxes and also rising food costs, which means the club is in need of more donations to ensure they can meet their expenses.
Donations can be mailed to P.O. Box 325, Athens, TN 37371-0325 or can be made via credit/debit card or PayPal on the Friendly Fellow Club website, friendlyfellows.org, by clicking the Donate button at the bottom of the page.
against the detroit tigers. i am sarah caldwell. fans are already getting excited for the big game. first pitch today at 3:05 this afternoon. we have live coverage of the events leading up to the game. rob roblin is catching up with local vendors and fans. let s start our coverage with gerry and pete. i hate to spoil this day, but it could not get much better unless the orioles have a no- hitter. first real day of the spring. they hit 70 degrees and a home opener, this is indeed the something special. today it is absolutely perfect, and after a three-game sweep of tampa, it is clearly very electric. i saw so many orioles jersey s, at a little more pride than maybe there had been the last several years. are off to a 3-0 is start for the first time since 1997. i don t think it is a coincidence. a little early to start talking about the playoffs, but you cannot help connecting not lik hundred connecting dots like that. o s, the third best record in the major leagues. t
