Taking care of business at this week’s Annual Meeting of the Washington County Chamber of Commerce members re-elected the following members to the Board of Directors:
- Brandon Lovering
- Cindy Birge
- William Steverson
- Amy Wiwi
- John Selover
The November Chipley Garden Club’s ‘Yard of the Month’ recipient was named as Scott and Kim Joiner, 720 7th Street in Chipley.
Chamber Executive Director Ted Everett announced the Chamber would be hosting an Open House at 11 a.m. on December 19th at their office on 5th Street.
Guest speaker for the Chamber Third Thursday Luncheon was Angela Kloph, Development Director with United Way of Northwest Florida. She stressed that the agency fights for the health, education and financial stability of every person in every community they serve.
“We need you to join us. Your passion, expertise and resources will help the fight become a win. A win that is not just a short-term contribution, but a long-term solution”, stressed Kloph.
Asking that area residents give to the annual fundraising drive, United Way personnel point out that too many individuals and families in Northeast Florida live in poverty or one crisis away.
