EMPTY BOWLS 2023
Thomasville Empty Bowls 2023 was a great success thanks to the collective efforts of many. Through the bounty of donations, every dollar of the $20,500 raised is being distributed to PDI and CCM in order that those in crisis may begin to thrive. We look forward to partnering with Memorial UMC and the community of Thomasville again on projects that rekindle faith in the power of showing up for one another.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Larry Cagle and Jim Gregory were honored by the Thomasville Rotary Club as Paul Harris Fellows. Larry and Jim were recognized for their many years of contributions to the Thomasville community.
