A message from Mayor Eddie Jones Jr.
Again, I just wanted to send a message thanking everyone for all the help and generosity that has been given these last few days for all of the folks in the Village of Florien and surrounding communities. It is comforting to see everyone in the community come together when others are in dire need.
In addition a heartfelt thank you goes out to all of the other people and organizations around the state who have sent donations, help, and prayers to our community during this time. Currently we have an abundance of clothes, food, and other personal items for those who are in need. To my knowledge everyone's immediate needs have been met.
Anyone who would like to continue to help can make a contribution to:
Florien Fire Victims at any Bank of Montgomery Branch. The account number is 42699652.
A special thanks goes out to all of the firefighters, first responders, police officers, and volunteers who helped to get this situation under control and keep our community safe. Without all involved, this bad situation could have been much worse.
Please be mindful of the extreme danger that we are currently experiencing with the extreme heat and drought situation.
There will be a prayer vigil at the Village Square next to the Florien Civic Center tonight at
7:00 p.m. for anyone who would like to attend. The focus will be on lifting up all that have been involved in the events over the last few days as well as prayer for rain.
Please let me know if the Village of Florien or anyone on my staff can be of any assistance to you.
Respectfully,
Eddie Jones Jr., Mayor
