Towing Company Makes Donation

A Taylor, Mich., towing company recently donated $1,000 to cover the insurance deductible after a suspicious fire destroyed the press box at a local high school and all of the timekeeping and scoring equipment inside it.

 Area Towing & Recovery presented the donation to the Taylor Board of Education at a recent meeting. The timekeeping and scoring equipment inside the press box dated to the 1960s, making it difficult to determine a replacement value. The scoreboard on the field was undamaged in the fire, but it was controlled by equipment inside the press box that was destroyed. As a result, the scoreboard will likely have to be replaced.

 In addition to the donation from Area Towing, the Taylor Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie No. 3138 held a spaghetti dinner to raise funds for the press box project. Source: www.thenewsherald.com
