Carey has been a busy woman! She has been burning up the roads of Greenwood County, attending GWC events at local nonprofits, businesses, and community organizations. She’s collected a total of 29 stickers on her vehicle from all the different places she’s visited—make sure to check them out when you stop by!
Communications Committee members Catherine DiBenedetto, Taylor Haigler, Sandy McCord, Laura Stowe, and Rachel Strayer shared some amusement and fellowship bringing our scarecrow to life on Catherine’s farm. They had a wonderful time working together on this creative project, which started in 2022 as a fun way to showcase GWC in the community.
We hope Ms. Givings will continue to inspire and serve as our GWC ambassador, encouraging more women to join us as we care for and explore Greenwood while giving back to our wonderful community.
Be sure to vote, share, and support Ms. Carey Givings!
