Greer Community Ministries (GCM) is once again offering a unique way to give during the holiday season. The Gift with Purpose program is a great way to let someone know that they have been a blessing while helping provide meals for home bound, elderly, and disadvantaged neighbors in the Greater Greer area.
City of Greer building official Ruthie Helms was honored last Wednesday with two awards from the Upper State Code Enforcement Association of South Carolina.
Helms received the Member of the Year Award as well as the M.F. “Red” Allen Educational Award for outstanding leadership and contribution to the code enforcement profession.
A Nov. 4 United States Department of Agriculture inspection of Hollywild Animal Park cites concerns at the park including the death of a baby alpaca.
The Greer Christmas Parade, Breakfast with Santa and the lighting of the city’s Christmas tree are just a few of the events on schedule for the weekend of Dec. 4-6.
The holiday festivities have become a tradition in Greer, and Greer Mayor Rick Danner expects a strong turnout.
Former Riverside High student Darius Smith, 18, was killed in an officer-involved shooting in Atlanta on Monday night.
Greer Honeywell Aerospace employees may be asked to take unpaid days off between now and the end of the year.
The Phoenix, Arizona based company announced recently that employees will be required to take five unpaid days off, and they cited “slow economic growth,” as the reason why.
More than 400 local residents will have Christmas presents to open this holiday season thanks to the efforts of dozens of sponsors who participate in Greer Relief’s Adopt-A-Family program.
The annual program allows donors to provide “wish list” items to Greer Relief clients, who would likely not have money to purchase gifts otherwise.
It’s Lyman’s turn to host the Duncan-Lyman-Wellford Christmas Parade, and the town is ready to show why they think a joint parade is the best option for the area.
