The Tallassee Lions Club, along with Neptune Technology Group has planned this year’s Roaring 5K Run. The 5K will benefit the community by offering eye exams and eyewear for children who may not otherwise have the access to those basic needs. Dr. Paris Mullins of Tallassee offers his services at a discounted price in order to help as many children as needed.
Neptune is a leading employer in the Tallassee area and the company is very active in the community. The factory is offering discounted entry fees to its employees who choose to run in this year’s event.
