Recently, Sherry Hickey and the General Federation Women’s Club Highland Rim donated $200.00 to the Sparta-White County Activity Center. The Activity Center once had a walk-in freezer that had been nonfunctioning for quite some time. Sherry Hickey, in her last big act as District President with GFWC Highland Rim, wanted to help put forward a donation towards getting a new one.
“This is our Activity Center,” said Sherry. “These are our seniors. So, I want to make sure we can get everything we can, so we can get one (the freezer) in there.”
Sherry’s donation was back in March. Upon hearing about the donation, however, the GFWC Sparta Women’s Club decided to match the donation. Current president Sandra and past president Sherry got together to donate another $200.00 towards that freezer. Just like the first donation, Sherry made sure that nobody saw it coming, heading to the Activity Center as if it were any other normal day. Getting everyone’s attention during their launch time, she announced the Sparta Women’s Club matching. Once again, she spoke about just how important the Activity Center is not just to her, but to all of White County and especially the older generation.
While Sherry Hickey’s donation has given the center a total of $400.00 for the freezer, director Jayne Guy has mentioned that it will cost thousands more before they can finish getting it up and running. It’s one of many projects the Sparta-White County Activity Center is undertaking to continue improving its facility more and more.
As for Sherry Hickey, it likely won’t be long before she makes news again, as she is always finding ways to do her best by the community she loves.
