Jan 30 Tree Planting Party. When the tornado hit Macon and surrounding areas a year and a half ago, GWS member Shirley Williams lost many dozen trees on her property near Dry Branch.

She will be serving soup, salad, and a drink for all who can come help...beginning at 9:00am. Anyone who wants to bring a dish to share is welcome to do so, but not required. Please let her know that you are coming, for food planning purposes. 478-755-9217 / 478-731-3468.
