Alderson Main Street Contributes To Flood Fund September 17, 2020

Alderson    Main    Street    matched    a    contribution    challenge    from    an    anonymous    donor    and    made    a contribution   to   the   Greater   Greenbrier   Long   Term   Recovery   Committee   (GGLTRC)   for   the   benefit   of victims of the flash flooding which occurred in Alderson in June, 2020. The   donation   was   accepted   by   Paula   Brown,   Board   Member   of   the   GGLTRC   on   behalf   of   that   group   and presented by Alderson Main Street President Judy Lohmeyer. Lohmeyer   said,   “We   hope   this   donation   will   help   several   of   the   families   of   this   area   who   have   suffered.     We appreciate the Greater Greenbrier Long Term Recovery Committee for the work they are doing here.” While   any   amount   of   damage   is   devastating   for   those   who   suffer   it,   the   total   damage   in   the Alderson   area did   not   rise   to   the   level   required   for   a   FEMA   disaster   declaration.     Therefore,   there   is   no   specific   federal   or state   aid   for   those   who   were   affected.      Local   help   is   essential   in   this   instance.      Several   groups   of volunteers,   including   from   the   Lewisburg   United   Methodist   Church   and   Bethlehem   Farm,   were   of   huge help and more will be needed as the work moves from the clean-up phase to the repair phase. Those wishing to help in any way can contact the GGLTRC through their web site at http://www.ggltrc.org/ PHOTO    CAPTION;        Paula    Brown,    Board    Member    of    the    Greater    Greenbrier    Long    Term    Recovery Committee,  accepts a donation from Alderson Main Street President Judy Lohmeyer.
