Chamber Connection — May 28, 2020
Annual Chamber Of Commerce Golf Tournament Registration Is In Full Swing
The Chamber is excited to announce that we are moving forward with our annual Golf Tournament! Our reschedule date is Friday, June 19, at Sulphur Springs Country Club. As usual, we will have morning and afternoon flights, and we have availability for teams right now.
This tournament will look different in a few ways. … We will spend the day completely outside, we will wash our hands often and well, lunch will be picked up in a box instead of being on a buffet, and all team members and volunteers will “Spend the Day a Club’s Length Away!” That will be our social distancing motto to keep everyone safe and healthy! We are looking forward to beautiful weather and a great time! Give us a call at 903-885-6515 to register your team!

The Dinner Bell: May Blessings
The Dinner Bell, a ministry of the First United Methodist Church in Sulphur Springs, TX, had a lot on it’s plate Wednesday. Beside the weekly free community meal, now served grab-and-go due to social distancing, a group of young men had a donation to make.
Gentlemen from the White and Ingram families recently set up a lemonade stand in the Rockyridge neighborhood. They sold two flavors of lemonade and homemade chocolate chip cookies. They also accepted donations from friends and neighbors. Their combined donation to Dinner Bell was $136. Natalie White (pictured above) stated, “The boys knew from the beginning they wanted to donate to the Dinner Bell. They are just the best and sweetest boys.”
Dinner Bell Matron Judy Gilreath said, “The money will go to good use, I’m already planning next weeks menu.” Judy went on to say that she is currently having trouble finding enough meat to match demands. She had to cut her interview short to field a call from a restaurant supplier.
This weeks sponsor was on hand to help prepare and hand out meals.
FUMC received a last minute donation of eggs and bathroom tissue. The goods were shared with participants as they drove, walked or bicycled through.
