An event that was filled with smiles, laughter, and fellowship was had by all as seniors enjoyed a morning of fun and community spirit on Thursday, September 25th, when Mayor J. Spike Harris visited the Council on Aging in Jonesboro to share town updates, recognize community partners and present prizes to the winners of the bingo games. 

Mayor Harris spoke with participants about the positive direction in which the Town of Jonesboro is heading while providing updates on infrastructure improvements and other community initiatives. 

While also taking time to answer questions from attendees, Mayor Harris furthermore expressed heartfelt gratitude to the local businesses who helped make this day extra special by donating gift certificates and other prizes: Walmart, Fine Wine, Kay’s Designs, Mainstreet Nutrition, Brenda Thompson, and The Greene House. Their generosity ensured that each prize carried an added touch of value and appreciation.

“Today was a rewarding reminder that progress is not only about roads, water systems, or infrastructure,” said Mayor Harris. “It’s about the joy we share as a community, the partnerships that strengthen us, and the opportunities we create for connection.”

Mayor Harris also extended thanks to the dedicated staff and volunteers at the Council on Aging and Ezzard “Chucky” Bradford of the Public Works Department for the Town of Jonesboro for their hospitality and continued commitment to serving Jonesboro’s seniors.
