“Dedicated Service Since 1932”

MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER:
Welcome to the month of March! I think I speak for everyone when I say, we are all ready to see a consistency in the weather. Please remember to keep your water dripping when the temperature dips below freezing. We have been gearing up for the upcoming employee evaluations. This will be the first time the Cherokee Boys Club has conducted employee evaluations and I feel they are going to benefit each and every one of us. We have been entertaining some new and exciting ventures for the Cherokee Boys Club and I can�t wait to see them come to fruition. The opportunities here are endless. Thank you all again for your hard work and dedication. As always, if you need me my door is always open.
� Greg Owle, General Manager
