GITC Donates to Community
GITC made two donations to the community recently. Pictured below is Club president Greg Carver (2nd from right) is shown donating $1,000 to the Boys and Girl's Club, the proceeds from the 2008 Sidney Lanier Bridge Run.
The club also donated funds to purchase running shoes for the Jane Macon Middle School Track team and received the following thank you from their coach:
"I would like to thank your club for the track shoes purchased for GMS. These kids work hard and appreciate your generosity. Again thank you and hope to see some of you at the track to support these athletes."
