The Johnston County Historical Society was delighted to have the eleven member team from AmeriCorp help repair many years of water damage to the Chickasaw Bank Building.
The team worked for 3 days scraping off peeling old water soaked layers of paint and repainted the walls and paneling to restore them to their original state.
After a hard day's work last Thursday, the team was treated to a night out at Sipokni West by Jack Yates and M.J. Nelson. The group enjoyed meeting Johnny Shackleford and were entertained by his stories and jokes. Then they had dinner in Wanda's western restaurant. Members of the Historical Society served them lunch two days to express their appreciation for the great job they were doing. Our community owes a debt of gratitude to not only the team...but also to Jack Yates for making it possible for an AmeriCorps team to return to Tishomingo to help various county organizations with much needed repairs.
