America 250 committee reports coin orders, flags and volunteer drive
Summary
At the Oct. 14 meeting, Rich Donahue of America 250 Lawrence County updated commissioners on commemorative coin orders, personalized flags for county offices, a coloring book proof, and a volunteer meeting at Ohio University Southern.
Rich Donahue, representing America 250 Lawrence County, gave the board a brief update on the county’s America 250 activities.
Donahue said the county received personalized America 250 flags and that the committee expects to distribute them to county offices this week. He reported that the committee placed an order for commemorative silver coins but that the price of silver rose $7 an ounce between project start and order placement, increasing costs. The committee ordered both the state-level 250 coin and an additional Lawrence County emblem coin; Donahue said the total available for sale will be about 350 coins.
Donahue also said the committee is finalizing proofs for a coloring book and asked for volunteers from the eastern end of the county; he said a volunteer meeting is scheduled at Ohio University Southern on the following Monday.
No formal decisions were recorded on these items during the meeting; Donahue’s presentation was informational.
