The citizens of Cherry Lake graciously raised money to go towards constructing a playground at Madison County Central School.
The money was raised through the sales of a calendar, featuring the men of Cherry Lake.
Photography on the calendar was done by Dollie Meggs-Premorel and the concept came from an idea by Debra Knox, the owner of the Cherry Lake General Store.
“This calendar signifies the unity and service of our men here in Cherry Lake,” stated Knox. “From the young men up and coming, ready to fill the shoes of the previous generations, to the men who lead as businessmen and employ local people. It includes our elected officials who service our community and keep our streets and homes safe, as well as those men who suffer the tumultuous weather conditions to keep our homes lit through all seasons. Additionally, it includes our service men, both young and old, who have offered their lives to our country and keep us free. It includes our hunters who help maintain population control of our wildlife and support our local businesses with the supplies needed to hunt. It includes our diehard agriculture businessmen and our cattlemen continuing the traditional business this country was built upon. And last, but not least, it includes our men who work hard to support our school system by keeping the busses in good running condition and provide our children with safe transportation back and forth to school.”
Sam Stalnaker, MCCS principal said of the effort by the people of Cherry Lake, “We certainly appreciate all of their efforts to assist MCCS in making it a better place to learn.”
So far, the calendar has raised $540 for the school.
