We had 15 people attend our Northern District Meeting at Georgia Blue in Southaven. Our speakers, Mark and Madison, from the Veteran's Cemetery presented us with some very informative information on veteran burials. We raised $185.00 from the 50/50 raffle and Chad Garner from Ambulance and Coach Sales had the winning ticket. He donated his winnings back to the foundation! We had Maddyx McNatt from Magnolia Funeral Home attend for the first time. Best wishes to her as she completes her mortuary science degree.

We want to thank our sponsors, Peebles Mortuary Service and Wilbert Vault Co. for sponsoring the event.
