<br /> Mr. Bill Stirewalt, President of the Mount Pleasant Lion's Club,
<br />expressed concern regarding ambulance response time to eastern Cabarrus County
<br />and stated the need to establish an ambulance station in that area of the
<br />county. According to Mr. Stirewalt, there are a number of sites in eastern
<br />Cabarrus County that could be donated for the facility and that the community
<br />would raise the funds for constructing the building.

<br />County included Dr. L. Allen Dobson, Jr. and Mr. Tommy K. Earnhardt of the
<br />Mount Pleasant Family Physicians, P.A., and Dr. Archie Barringer who practiced
<br />medicine in Mount Pleasant from 1937-1983. There were approximately 25
<br />representatives from civic organizations, churches, volunteer fire depart-
<br />ments, and school support groups present for the meeting. These represen-
<br />tatives included Mr. Scott Barringer, Ms. Kay Scott, Ms. Marie Fisher, Mr.
<br />Melvin Sossamon, Mr. Jack Craley, Mr. Arthur Lee Kluttz, Mr. Joe Krall, Mr. Foy

<br />Pleasant Town Council, Mr. Bill Stirewalt, Mr. Tommy K. Earnhardt, Mr. Benny
