Local business donates to Jimmie Rodgers Foundation
SUMMARY: The content discusses the Meridian City Council meeting and the controversy surrounding funding for area organizations. Councilwoman Ty Bell Lindsey wanted to amend the agenda to discuss contributions but was not able to do so. The foundation's late application was cited as the reason for the confusion, and it was stated that no other members on the council were confused and that it was a legal way of voting. Local supporters of the festival are also mentioned as being involved in securing funding.
A Meridian business is increasing its contribution by half.

SUMMARY: South Central Regional Medical Center recently held its annual volunteer awards ceremony and appreciation reception, where they honored 43 volunteers who collectively contributed over 7,000 hours of service. These volunteers traditionally assisted in areas like the emergency department, Children's Academy offices, and nursing homes. Awards were given for Caring Teen Volunteer of the Year and Volunteer of the Year. The hospital acknowledged that they hadn't been able to honor their volunteers since 2019, and expressed gratitude for their dedication. They also encouraged others to get involved by visiting their website for more information on volunteering opportunities at the hospital.
