It was a night of celebration at the annual Sav-A-Life of Tallapoosa County fundraising banquet last week at Central Alabama Community College.
Not only did the banquet celebrate those who were helped by Sav-A-Life throughout the past year, it also celebrated Sharon Moore, who is in her 30th year as the nonprofit’s executive director.
