Want to give something that keeps giving through the year? Do you know a Coosa County resident or native who has moved away who would like to know what's going on in the community? This holiday season, consider giving the gift of community journalism. You can buy a 6-month, 1-year, or 2-year subscription to "The Coosa County News" to be sent to a loved one, friend, colleague, or neighbor. When you give a gift subscription, we will send the recipient a card informing them of the gift from you -- unless you would like to be a secret Santa -- and they can think of you and your gift each week as they read the newspaper. Shop local. Support small business. Give the gift of community news this season.
