OZARK - Beautification projects took place throughout Ozark on Saturday as residents worked to make another Make A Difference Day worthwhile.
Organizers said projects at every school, at some parks, at Ed Lisenby Lake and the Flowers Center involved a number of volunteers from Ozark and Fort Rucker who helped clean and repair facilities. Volunteers said they met around 8 a.m. and worked until noon, when they were served lunch at St. Paul A.M.E. Church in Ozark.
Make a Difference Day co-chair Frank Phillips said this year also included a food and book drive for the Dale County Rescue Mission.
“The rescue mission has already expressed a need for extra food this Thanksgiving. The response in the past had been pretty incredible, so we were hopeful for the same success,” he said.
