Long-time Hixson resident, good friend and fellow volunteer, June Cooper, was recently honored by Friends of North River Civic Center with an award for her contribution with the Fall Festival fundraiser for this group. Mrs. Cooper wants to remind everyone of the many free activities taking place at the North River Civic Center and would like to encourage everyone to participate in them. She has been on the board of the NRCC since it began and believes the activities provided by the center are unique in the area and beneficial to the community as a whole. Congratulations to June Cooper and many thanks for all she does for the Hixson community.
