Cherokee County (those dang Injuns) wouldn't honor them.

It's $7, support high school football

You know why they call it a "FIXED INCOME"?

Well, I'll tell you. Remember when you took your dog to the vet to get "FIXED"? That is what they did to my income....

From talking to other fans around the state, I know that some districts offer free passes to senior citizens that live within the district. They don't seem to publicize them very well. I only found out last year that Florence SD1 offers a 62+ pass. I have shared this information with several senior citizens I sit near, and over half of them had no idea these passes were available.

I encourage you to check with your district to see if something is available. If not, maybe go to a school board meeting and ask them why not.

From the Florence SD1 website:

• 62+ passes will be honored. Those eligible for a 62+ pass must present their ID at the F1S District Office to obtain their pass. Pass holders may show your 62+ pass at the gate for free entry.

• The PASS 62 allows senior citizens, 62 years of age and over, as well as totally disabled persons, to attend district athletic, choral, and drama events (except the Football Jamboree, post-season play, and fundraisers) free of charge. It also provides the cardholder the opportunity to eat lunch at the elementary school in cardholder’s attendance zone for the current adult lunch price. The PASS 62 is non-transferable, and does not expire.

• Board Policy KJD: Relations with Senior Citizens
  All citizens of the district who are totally disabled or 62 years of age or older will be admitted without charge to all events sponsored by the school district provided they present proof of age. Qualified citizens may obtain a Pass 62 card by submitting evidence of eligibility in person to the Office of Public Information. Card does not expire.

• Limitations: Card does not apply to cost-prohibitive events such as fundraisers, tournaments, and pre- or post-season play. Card must be presented before receiving benefits. Any misuse of the card will bring forfeit of its privileges.

• Please be advised that the Pass 62 card admits only one.

Georgetown County has a senior pass, a board member pass, and staff pass, and staff cousin's pass, a cousin of a cousin from Pawley's pass.....
