PLEASE LIKE AND SHARE THIS POST-share the community love!

This week's nominee is none other than Brad Harris — a true pillar of our community. Described by those who know him best as someone who "does so much for so many," Brad's heart for Rhea County shines through in everything he does.

🎓 Brad served as Rhea County's Finance Director for several years, ensuring our community's resources were well-managed.

🥳 He was instrumental in starting the Rhea County Prayer Breakfast, creating a space where faith and fellowship could flourish.

💃👯 He brought the idea for the Daddy Daughter Dance to the Rotary Club, a cherished event that continues to create precious memories for families.

🎤 Brad has spent countless hours scheduling and running sound for the Gospel Stage at the Strawberry Festival, ensuring the music that uplifts our hearts reaches every corner of the festival grounds.

💼 He serves on the boards of several local organizations, always giving his time and talents selflessly.

🛠 When someone in the community was seemingly forgotten, Brad made sure they received a proper grave marker — a beautiful act of compassion and respect.

🎶 An incredible singer, Brad generously volunteers his musical talent at events, never seeking payment or recognition — just a way to bless others. And if he can't do it? He finds someone who can.

Brad's dedication to Rhea County is truly remarkable. He embodies the spirit of service, love, and community that makes our home so special.

This week, we are thrilled to shine the spotlight on Andy Blalock, the heart and soul behind the revitalization of the Rhea Richland Seniors (https://www.facebook.com/share/19r8ZRhBNr/). “Since Andy became the director, the center has seen a remarkable transformation! The membership has grown, and the members are now enjoying exciting trips, special visitors, and an overall renewed energy at the center." - Dorothy

What truly sets Andy apart is his *genuine compassion* and *loving care* for the people he serves. The members of the center absolutely adore him, and it’s no surprise why—Andy pours his heart into everything he does. ❤️

I’ve had the privilege of spending time with Andy, and I can say without a doubt that he and his family are a *true treasure* in our community. We are lucky to have them here in Rhea County!
