Choctaw

This project was to employee 2 staff to supervise and help the 30 virtual children who attended our Supervised Distant learning all year here at the club and for our after school program which these two staff members stayed and tutored children for the after school program.

During our day time virtual program we serviced 12 children from Wilcox County who attended F.S. Ervin School.  It was a blessing to have the extra money to help pay for these two staff members.

We proposed a 12×16 foot cedar structure with a metal roof made by Yardistry. It’s a beautiful and spacious wood gazebo with a metal roof and will create the perfect setting for outdoor reading, art classes, paint parties, egg hunts, story hours, birthday parties, and all entertainment needs.

The Evergreen Chamber of Commerce recently purchased a dilapidated building in the downtown of Evergreen. This building had been in bankruptcy but was one of the main buildings in the downtown of Evergreen. After countless hours of hard work, this building will soon be Evergreen’s Community Hall. This will be used for community meetings, after school programs, weddings, and as other venues.

The Chamber Ambassador program is designed to encourage student participation in public service through assisting the Choctaw County Chamber of Commerce in various projects throughout the year. This program also offers a monetary scholarship in the amount of $500 to eight senior students, specifically two students from each of the county’s four high schools, for their willingness to serve their community.

The Evergreen Chamber of Commerce Recently recently purchased a former banquet center. This building had been an eyesore in the downtown of Evergreen because it had not been used in many years.  Through an 0pen mind, we have been able to revitalize this building to become community center for Evergreen.  This building will be used for community meetings, after-school programs, and as a local venue for our community.
