Each day at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, more than 260 children are provided with compete and total medical care. No family ever pays St. Jude for anything.

Would your organization like to raise a little money?
The Stew Committee for the Chamber of Commerce has decided to offer a great opportunity for an organization looking to raise money. This year, we would like for a group or organization to take over the selling of drinks at the Stew Contest on October 25th. If your group would be interested, please call the Chamber by September 5th to let us know. The only way we could figure out a way to be fair, is to have a Blind Draw. All organizations will go into a drawing and the one that is drawn will be the one who sells drinks at the Stew Contest. There will be several requirements that must be met: 1) Must man 3 drink stations 2) Must have adequate volunteers to work Friday and Saturday 3) Must have t-shirts or some other “identifier” so visitors will recognize your group as the “drink sellers”. Group t-shirts will be fine. Once a group has sold drinks at the stew contest, they will not be eligible to sell them again the next year. If you have questions, please call the Chamber at 903-885-6515.
Please note…NO others items may be sold on the stew grounds.
Welcome new Chamber Members:
Father & Son Auto Sales, 900 Gilmer Street, 903-951-1193
Roper & White, Attorneys at Law, P.O. Box 1430, 903-885-1155
