The second Welcome to Manchester Sign in now in place and located on the Northern M-52 entrance to the Village on the Republic Bank Site. I would like to thank Patty Keezer, Republic Bank, for her help in making this location possible and Scott Beckelhamer, Versatile Sign and Graphics, for the beautiful sign.��� This is the second of three signs included in the MACC Manchester Beautification Project which also includes decorating the flower boxes on the bridge and on Main and Adrian Streets.� Last year, as you remember, the Village looked beautiful. Mike Helton (Flower Garden) did an exquisite job decorating the flower boxes on the bridge and Emory Garlick and Teresa Benedict did a fantastic caring for the flowers.

 

If you haven�t done so already please renew your membership in the MACC.

 

Thanks,

Bill
