Emporium volunteers recognized A group of Sun City artists was recently recognized by Jim Hodges at the Governor's 2001 Volunteer Awards ceremony at the State Museum in Columbia. The group of 10 volunteers donated more than 650 hours between June 6 and Aug. 15 last year to transform the interior of an old building in downtown Ridgeland into a work of art to provide a space for an arts and crafts store, The Live Oak Emporium, that would benefit Citizens Opposed to Domestic Abuse. The group worked with a minimum of funding within a very limited time to create the unique and artistic space.
