What You Missed Last Week!
We had a great discussion about the imminent needs in our community surrounding affordable housing and homelessness. We would like to send a big THANK YOU to our guest panelist: Sharon Edwards- Community Outreach Training Center, Rich Massa- CEO, Habitat For Humanity, Jason Stump- VP TNB, Denny Blake- Sr. Pastor DOJM, Kenny Thompson- City of Thomasville. They were able to share first hand situations that they see and know exist in our community and possible ways of aiding the trajectory of affordable housing in the right direction.
Danny’s next stop on the road to success was at the University of Eastern Kentucky where he was All-Conference for two years, and also Academic All American. Danny’s hard work paid off as the NFL scouts started noticing this South Georgia young man, and he was soon drafted into the professional football league where he spent the next six years. He earned a Super Bowl ring with the Washington Redskins and was the Redskins’ Many of the Year in 1993. Danny returned home to Meigs where he started an after school program for the youth there. It has since evolved for the past six years into the Christ in Sports Foundation where he is both the founder and director. Presently 28 student-athletes are participating in college sports as a result of his training and guidance. This equates to $1 million in college scholarships to our area youth! Danny Copeland makes a positive impact on the lives of individuals daily. He is a man who “walks the walk" in Thomas County.
