Barbara Armitage: Improving Adair County by the numbers Adair County has almost unlimited talent, volunteers, and available leadership, president of dynamic, making a difference Adair County Garden Club says. If every Adair Countian gave just 10 hours of volunteer time, we could have 28 rose gardens around the county By Barbara Armitage, President, Adair Co. Garden Club Volunteers are being born every day. There is absolutely nothing we couldn't do in our community if everyone would pitch in. We have about 17,000 people in Adair County. If everyone one of them would commit just 10 hours to some type of community volunteer program every year we would have a pool of 170,000 hours. That's 21,250 - 8 hour work days or 4,250 - 5 day work weeks. The members of the Garden Club just spent 600 hours restoring the Julia Miller Horton Rose Garden at the Trabue House. If we all (all 17,000 of us) had devoted just 10 hours to the project we could have 28 rose gardens in Columbia today. Think of how wonderful it would smell. If I could remove one sentence from the English language it would be "Somebody needs to do something about..." You are somebody - do it yourself! Join the Garden Club by calling (270) 250-2979.
