Thanks to everyone for their long hours of hard work and cooperation during the recent snow, ice, flooding, and power outages. Everyone’s cooperation made these difficult situations better. Thanks to all the Police, Fire, Rescue, Dispatchers, EMS and Boys Club personnel and School staff for their long hours. Thanks to Cherokee DOT for their work on the roads and highways and thanks to the many agencies and individuals who gave their time and energy to keep us safe.
We also thank Duke Energy and their contracted agencies for helping to restore power to the many homes and businesses that lost power during the inclement weather.

CLUB STILL NEEDS YOUR USED COOKING OIL
