Congratulations to my son and his new bride who were married this past Saturday. The wedding of Zach and Kelly Rhodehamel was held on Saturday, Nov. 14 at the Community of Faith Church in Lewisburg and the reception was at Romer’s in Greenville. It was a lovely event and so exquisitely done. I am very proud to announce that I have a new daughter! Kelly is the daughter of Tom and Jane Wills of Greenville.

Thank you again to the Arcanum Garden Club who have placed beautiful Christmas decorations and plants in the flower pots on the corners uptown for all to enjoy during the holiday season. Great job ladies!
