FAMILY SERVICES RELOCATION REMINDER
Remember that Family Support Services has moved their office from Goose Creek Road to the Cherokee Boys Club Campus in Cherokee. The office is located directly across from the Boys Club’s Garage in the building where the former general manager’s residence used to be. We urge everyone to keep safety in mind with the increased amount of traffic to this area because of the relocation of this office and the opening of the new DOT facility.

CHILDREN’S HOME GAINS SUPPORT FROM ADVENTURIST
According to Dale Stewart’s website, he is an explorer, adventurist, conservationist, and educator. Dale has chosen to follow the Trail of Tears’ Water Route as his next expedition later this month. He will depart from Ross’ Landing located on the Tennessee River in Chattanooga and will paddle the route 1,226 miles along the Tennessee, Ohio, Mississippi and Arkansas Rivers to Oklahoma.
Mr. Stewart is asking sponsors of this journey to donate to the Children’s Home’s construction fund that will go toward the building of a new Children’s Home facility in the Birdtown Community.
According to Children’s Home Manager Cris Weatherford, “It is a very exciting opportunity to be involved with Dale Stewart on his journey to Oklahoma. We were visited by Mr. Stewart and asked if would be willing to allow him to raise money on our behalf during his trip. We are currently engaged in efforts to fund a much-needed new home for our children. We accepted his partnership and have remained in contact with him. The Water Route of the Trail of Tears is a sparsely known fact and should be very challenging to complete. We would like to wish Mr. Stewart a safe and meaningful journey.”
