CHEROKEE BOYS CLUB BULLETIN (NO. 7) WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9, 2019

MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER:

Happy New Year everyone! Alex Morritt said, �A new year � a new chapter, new verse, or just the same old story? Ultimately, we write it. The choice is ours.� I could not agree more. I hope you all enjoyed your holidays and spending time with those who mean the most to you. We have a very busy month ahead of us filled with strategy meetings and the beginning of a new quarter for the students. We have had quite a few changes in a few of our departments and I�m very excited at the direction we, as an organization, are headed in. As always, if you need anything I�m here.
My door is always open.
� Greg Owle, General Manager
