Sad news

There will be a memorial service at the First United Methodist Church in Ozark on Thursday, August 6. 1:00 p.m., visitation will begin and at 2:00 p.m. the memorial service will begin. A private family burial will be at a later time.






Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Jack Swinehart. His loss will affect us greatly. As our new Vice President he was always willing to give. He just did not have the time to do that work on this earth for the Dale County Camp.
