Funds were also derived from sale of tickets for $10 each, a second time around jewelry sale, and a silent auction. Jewette Battles was coordinator for the jewelry and Mary Davidson, the auction. Mary Al Alford handled arrangements for table decorations.
Businesses giving support were Wal-Mart, Merchants and Farmers Bank, Mississippi Home Care, Sta-Home, Sunflower, Kosciusko Junior Auxiliary and Central Office Supply.”
