CHAMBER BUZZ

Senior Scholarship Awarded at South Lamar Senior Night
For the past few years, the Chamber has endeavored to help the youth in our community accomplish their educational goals. We usually ask seniors to write about how our community is the best place to live. This year, we asked them to write about how they specifically could make their communities a better place. They did not disappoint.
Among the applicants, Jordyn Foster caught our attention when she described how she has been working in her community. The fundraisers and beautification of South Lamar's campus were obviously amazing, but what really stood out were the small things, what we at the Chamber call the "dirty work."
Jordyn was absolutely right. The people making the real difference in the community are the ones willing to do the small things: pick up trash, scrapping gum up, shopping local, and genuinely caring about the community. She is going to do great things in the world. It is our honor to award Jordyn Foster the South Lamar Chamber's Senior Scholarship!

UA Community Affairs Visits Millport
Today we hosted 35 or more undergraduate students and department heads from the University of Alabama’s Community Affairs! This is their second year visiting. They asked a bunch of excellent questions relating to business, education, health care, and housing pertaining to our area and what challenges we have and successes we’ve had. Dr. Pruitt asked an excellent question… “Where do we see ourselves in the future?” Thank you to everyone who came out and was a part of the panel!
