Yesterday at the annual meeting of the Rock Hill Economic Development Corporation, I was elected to serve on the Board of Directors of the Rock Hill Economic Development Corporation. This non-profit organization promotes business, education and the community interests of the city, while promoting jobs and supporting growth.

The City of Rock Hill’s, “No Room for Racism” Commmittee will be serving as greeters this Sunday at 3:00 p.m. for the Juneteenth service at Mt. Prospect Church, 339 West Black St., Rock Hill, SC. See you there.

The Rock Hill Weed & Seed program is holding “Celebration Jam,” including a Health Fair & Education program this Saturday at 10:00 a.m. at the Emmett Scott Recreational Center (801 Crawford Road).
