Women’s Club President Makes Final Donation

Most folks in White County know Sherry Hickey. As the General Federation Women’s Club Highland Rim District President, she has worked hard in the community through various channels to make the White County she loves as great as possible. Her tenure as president is ending, however, and as president, she was able to donate $200.00 to any charity of her choice as one of her final decisions. She chose a place she has loved her years, her hometown Sparta-White County Activity Center. The $200.00 will be going to replace the walk-in-freezer that is no longer functional.

“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 got the idea during the Chamber of Commerce’s recent Morning Brew event, which took place at the Activity Center. During that event, director Jayne Guy mentioned the defunct freeze, and that it needed to be replaced. Sherry knew right away what to put that final donation to.

The $200.00 will not be enough to replace an entire walk-in freezer, of course, but Sherry hopes this starting donation will inspire others to help. She knows White County can come together to lend a hand to the Activity Center she loves.
