What an inspiring program last week as we presented the 2025 Melvin Martin First Responder Award to Jones County Sheriff Danny Jimenez! ๐
Sheriff Jimenez was honored for his incredible 40 years of service, integrity, and selfless leadership in law enforcement. Our guest speaker, Judge Brooks Hagler, praised him as a true public servant whose influence reaches far beyond the county line. This year's award also marked a special milestone as Sheriff Jimenez is the first recipient chosen from outside Taylor County! In recognition of his outstanding career, a $1,000 donation was made to Anson Meals on Wheels.
Thank you, Sheriff Jimenez, for your dedication to our communities! And thank you to all the first responders and guests who joined us for last week's program.

Yesterday, Sam Nichols provided an update on the Basketball Smiles Camp held in the Caribbean this summer. More than 12,000 children have attended these summer camps over the past 26 years. He communicated that our club's donation provided ice and water this year. He shared a wonderful video highlighting some of the students who participated, thanked club members for the continued support, and presented the club with a terrific banner signed by so many of the 225 campers who attended. ...
