Chamber Chat - 5-9-14

Good Friday Captains of Commerce!

Last evening at the scholarship awards was just awesome!  We have so many talented, intelligent young adults who will represent our community well.

The Chamber of Commerce had many very qualified and bright applicants apply for our scholarship, from both the El Dorado Springs Christian School and from the El Dorado Springs Public School.  The decision definitely  wasn’t easy for the Scholarship Committee to make. 

Our 2014 scholarship is awarded to Miss Madison Mays. Madison is the daughter of Jarrod and Tammy Mays of El Dorado Springs.  Madison was a Captain of the State Champion basketball team, Captain of the softball team, Student Council President as well as having many other notable positions and achievements including outstanding grades. Madison plans to return to El Dorado Springs post-college to be a part of the business community as a physician. The Chamber of Commerce is pleased to award Madison Mays the 2014 Chamber of Commerce Scholarship of $500 to go to the college of her choice.  

Make it a great day!
