"We are the front lines of truth advocacy. Major media outlets have traded truth for sensationalism, and online news sites have no real legal concerns to keep them in check. Digital text is not ink. The community newspapers are left as the only legally challenged body of information. We cannot afford to lie. We cannot afford to be inaccurate. We are the last stand for freedom of the press. We are the last of the true journalists."

Paint the Town Purple!

The Relay For Life of Bibb County volunteers are creating a lot of excitement with the “Paint The Town Purple” awareness campaign February 25 – March 4.  Volunteers are contacting businesses and residents to encourage everyone to take part by donating $5 to the American Cancer Society to receive a bright purple bow to display in support of the fight against cancer.

The American Cancer Society’s community event to fight cancer will return to Bibb County on Friday, May 6, 2011, at the Heritage Park in Brent, so there is still time to start or join a team or to help plan this year’s event.

For more information about getting involved or forming a team for the Relay For Life of Bibb County 2011, please call Event Co-Chair Ryan Thompson at (205) 225-4287 or Event Chairs Sharon George at (205) 926-7127 or Roberta Lawrence at (205) 926-4861 or visit the local event website www.relayforlife.org/bibb.
