Capital Bank Supports Front Porch Picking

Our appreciation goes out to the Capital Bank, Honea Path branch, for their support of our October 18th Front Porch Picking at the Belton Depot. Sponsorships are still available for this big free to the public event. Please contact us at TCMAUpstate@aol.com for more information on how you can help us make a difference.

While we need the rain here in the Upstate of SC, we certainly don’t need the damage a major hurricane will bring. Rowdy Friend, Jesse, is part of the SC Army National Guard. They were notified this past Tuesday to report to active duty in anticipation of Tropical Storm Hanna hitting the SC coast full force as a hurricane. After 2 days of Ready, Set . . . . almost Go, it looks like Hanna isn’t going to hit with the force they thought – thank goodness. Now we just have to hold our breath that she doesn’t strengthen, and at the same time keep a close eye on Ike coming in to the US. In the meantime, our SC upstate troops have been released, but advised to keep their bags packed! I hope that doesn’t mean that Jesse will have to be on Hurricane duty for our Front Porch Picking here in Honea Path on September 13th! If you are a picker, or just a grinner – plan to come by from 2 – 4 p.m. and join us - weather permitting. More info on that soon . . . RJ
