Mason County Community Foundation & the Point Pleasant Register
WHAT IS THE PROGRAM? The Mason County Spirit of Our Community Program was created by the Mason County Community Foundation and the Point Pleasant Register as a way to honor the volunteer leaders and donors of our community who work to improve our community and have helped build the “spirit of our community”. Through this recognition program it is our hope that by showcasing those who are working to improve our community, it will encourage new leaders to follow their good works to continue to make our community a great place to live, work, and raise a family.
