MAYOR'S DESK, Continued from Page 2 easier for individuals/groups who wish to reserve it for a specific date. If you have questions regarding the procedure to reserve the shelter for an event, please feel free to contact Elgin Town Hall at 803-438-2362. In order to use the picnic shelter for a birthday celebration or event, you must reserve it first. Reserving the shelter does not reserve the entire park, it only guarantees usage of the picnic shelter.

As always, we welcome input from the public and encourage our residents and businesses to stay informed so that you can be involved. If I can ever be of assistance, please do not hesitate to email me at Melissa.emmons@ townofelginsc.com or call me at 803-309-1385. We update our website frequently, so please visit www.townofelginsc.com for information. Our next meeting is Tuesday, August 1, 2023, at 6:00 at Elgin Town Hall.

The Good Neighbor Award is intended to showcase good deeds by citizens in the county. Too many times we see the negativity and evil happening in the world and not enough of the compassion and good. Everyone has the potential to be a superhero. You never know what kind of a battle someone is fighting internally. A kind word or deed could change the world for that person. That’s what Good Neighbors do.

If you know of someone that has done a good deed for another, please submit it to us. Our team of volunteers will read and vet all submissions and pick three finalists from each District. Each Council Member will pick the winner from their District then the chair will pick that quarter’s winner.
