First Foundations, Inc. (FFI) was honored as “Business of the Month” at the July meeting of the Travelers Rest Area Business Association.
TRABA president Cindy Kavanagh asked FFI president Dick Jensen to give luncheon guests a report on his organization’s July 4th event in Travelers Rest. Jensen said 22 business, government and education leaders from northern Greenville County took turns reading the entire text of the Declaration of Independence during the Sunday afternoon “Liberty Celebration.” A patriotic parade preceded the public reading of the Declaration. A color guard from the Sons of the American Revolution led the mini-parade from Gateway Elementary School to the Kevin Whitaker building, site of the three o’clock ceremony.
Congratulations to North Greenville Hospital's Michael Batchelor, who was named the Business Person of the Year for TRABA at an award ceremony March 9. The award presentation follows:
Our “Citizen of the Year,” Mr. Clyde Carr, has been described as “A hard working man of astute character who maintains a consistent example in his daily walk and is always willing to help others with a pleasant character and self-less giving way”.
TR Police Chief Lance Crowe
