The Lyons/Vidalia Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary, and women of the Moose and Vidalia/Lyons Moose Lodge presented checks Monday afternoon to Toombs County High School and Toombs County Middle School to help with the expenses of the Toombs County Children’s Choir.

Under the direction of Rachel Davis and Matthew Kersey, the young people perform throughout the community for civic organization and special events without compensation. For several years, they have raised their voices in song during the Memorial Day observance sponsored by the VFW Auxiliary.

“Rachel and Matthew work very hard and with great dedication as they put a program together,” said Shirley Curl of the VFW Auxiliary. “The children will inspire and entertain you. If you haven’t heard them, mark your calendars now for the last Monday in May at 3:00 in the auditorium of Southeastern Technical College. You will be amazed at the talent.”

The Toombs County Children’s Choir is comprised of students in the 3 -5 grades from Lyons Upper Elementary School and Toombs Central Elementary School.
