For the month of November, The Meeting Place is recognizing not one volunteer but rather a group from the Tryon United Methodist Church.

For several months, The Meeting Place in Columbus has underwent renovations, including fresh paint throughout the entire building. During the month of October, this group of individuals dedicated an entire day to painting at the center, and did an amazing job, representatives said.

Those interested in volunteering at The Meeting Place may contact the center at 828-894-0001.

Members of the painting crew were:

• Pastor Lynnette Sills

• Dee Clemente

• Pam Monterisi

• Lynn Montgomery

• Cyndi Blanchard

• Charley Magee

• Jane Armstrong
