Taste of Town a tremendous success

Monday, July 2, 2012

To the Editor,

On behalf of the 350+ members of the Boys & Girls Club of Poplar Bluff, I would like to thank our wonderful community in making the Taste of the Town a tremendous success. Through the tireless efforts of many we were able to raise over $32,000 that will greatly help our mission: To enable all young people, especially those who need us the most, to reach their full potential as productive, responsible, caring citizens. The Boys and Girls Clubs of America is the number one child servicing agency in the world, and you have certainly done your part to make sure that is happens in your home town. Our committee was able to overcome many obstacles to put together a wonderful experience that will continue to bear positive results for many years to come.

A function of this magnitude would not be possible if not for the help of the following sponsors, Our title sponsor Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center and our Epicurean Sponsors Dr. Lance Yeoman and the The Dermatology Office & Scott Spencer and 1st Community Bank. Gourmet Sponsors in clued Hollida Insurance, Robertson Contractors, Sterling Bank, Black River Medical Center, The Dental Arts Group, First Midwest Bank, Southern Bank, Phil Childress Bail Bonds and Coppertop Foot & Ankle Clinic. Bonappetit Sponsors included MHJ Insurance, The Scott Law Group, Ozark OB/GYN, Bailey's CARSTAR, Newman Amusement, The Wine Rack, Key Drugs, Rob's Flowers, Kelly Shearer Farmer's Insurance, Scrapbooks from the Heart, Cotrell Funeral Service, Erik Kirkman Investments, Mr. & Mrs. Mike Burcham, Sharron Kissinger Investments, Mr. & Mrs. Mark Melloy, The Other Side Medical Supply and 4M Signs.

Our kids, staff and Board of Directors also want to thank the wonderful leadership from our Taste of the Town Chairperson, Cassy Montgomery and her committee. Thank you again for your continued and generous support to the Boys & Girls Club. Without your help we would not have the ability to continue the great works of this organization.

Sincerely,

Chris Rushin
