Goree School

Hello Hometown,

Just wanted to drop you all a quick note and ‘officially’ announce that the school in Goree has been donated back to the City of Goree for public use. We appreciate Robert Dillard and the School Board for their cooperation and for giving us the opportunity to better our hometown.

If we do not utilize these facilities, then the upkeep, insurance and maintenance could hurt rather than help us. A Townhall Meeting is in the making. Thank you for your continued support and ideas.

We are excited to say the least!
Kent Trainham
