MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER
As we come upon the Thanksgiving Holiday, I want to express my sincere appreciation for all the hard work and dedication each of you employees show to the Cherokee Boys Club. This organization would not be able to stand if it were not for you all. Every employee here contributes each day, something different and unique. Your work is reflected in the fact that we can open our doors each day and provide the several different types of services that we do. I pray that your holiday is spent with family and or friends and that you can reflect on all the things that you are thankful for. If you need anything, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Greg Owle, General Manager
