It’s appears that municipal leaders are trying very hard to take an active role in giving citizens something to do.
This past Thursday the much anticipated college football season finally had a kick-off and City of Marion Mayor Rodney Berry scored on the first play of the game.
Berry and the a few dedicated city employees installed an 11-foot screen inside the C.D. Joyner auditorium and invited the public to join him in watching the University of South Carolina Gamecock football team take on North Carolina State University in the season opener.
Obviously to many sports fans that’s an awesome idea and maybe the first of its kind.
Berry also welcomed tailgaters at the parking lot outside the facility, which is another great addition to make that night feel like an actual game day.
Berry is a former college football player and sitting among the crowd watching the game on the big screen was like another day at the office. He looks forward to broadcasting a few more games and this week will feature the Clemson Tigers, which is fair.
The season finale between rivals Clemson and Carolina should attract the entire town.
City of Mullins Mayor Pam Lee signed a proclamation in support of a very positive event. The city is endorsing a national “Back to Church” campaign that will present a community worship service at Mullins High School on Sept. 13.
Clemson football Chaplain Tony Eubanks will be the guest speaker at the event. Lee’s encouragement for citizens and church members to invite friends and family to services is a nice gesture and it’s also great to see local churches form a partnership to spread the message.
Marion County Councilman Milton Troy II is organizing a clean up in his district in Sept. 12, which is another positive step in getting citizens active and taking interest in helping their neighborhood and community.
It’s going to take some good ideas to motivate inactive people into taking action. It doesn’t mater the how big or small the project maybe as long as something is getting done
