A huge thank you to the volunteers who pitched in with clean-up efforts at Duncan Park Golf Course following the recent storm.

Supervisor Kevin Wilson and his wife, Dana, helped move several large downed trees. Alderman Curtis Moroney worked across the back side of the course cutting fallen limbs into manageable pieces, and Jeff Morris brought out his personal blower and cleared debris from the entire 12th fairway.

Each of them generously donated their time, hard work, and personal equipment to lend a hand and help get the course cleaned up.

We are grateful to Kevin, Dana, Curtis, and Jeff for stepping up and giving their time to Duncan Park. Their willingness to help is a wonderful example of the community spirit we are fortunate to have here in Natchez!
