By LYNELLE MARIE MEDLEY MCINTOSH COUNTY CHAIRPERSON

We have lots of exciting opportunities coming up over these next few months!

First, we will be having a huge community meeting to educate us regarding the wind turbine issue that is sweeping across our state on Nov. 21 at the VFW at 6:30 p.m. We will have Saundra Traywick as our speaker here to continue the conversation regarding a number of property rights issues every rancher, farmer and landowner big and small should be at this public meeting.

We will present opportunities to participate in community-based solutions in order to halt the stripping of our property rights. This concerns every landowner in McIntosh County, and we hope to see you all there! Light refreshments will be served, please invite your neighbors and friends.

On Dec. 12 we will have our annual Christmas celebration – open to the general public so we hope you will join us as we celebrate all that Christmas means to us and prepare to enter into a new year.

As always, all are welcome!
