Cheerleaders, chamber say thanks

To the editor:
On behalf of the Jay County High School cheerleaders, we would like to thank the community for its continued support and encouragement during our state fair preview show.
This was our first year giving back to the community that gives so much to us, and through your support of monetary donations and “helping us can a victory” your contributions helped us raise $75 in donations with more than 200 canned food items. All of your donations went to support Jay County’s Helping Hand Food Bank.
The cheerleaders and coaches would also like to thank The Commercial Review and Ray Cooney for all they have done covering JCHS sports.
