A huge THANK YOU to one of our newest members, Ellen Bendana, for delivering such an informative presentation last week. Ellen, together with Abby McGahee of MASA Transportation Solutions, is actively hosting seminars in Blairsville and Blue Ridge to help our community better understand who MASA is and the important services they provide.
We’re grateful for their dedication and the value they bring to our group.

It was our pleasure to welcome the president of the Union County Rotary Club, Chuck Henz as our guest speaker last week.
Chuck's leadership and commitment stand as a powerful representation of true community service.
The Rotary Club continues to make a real impact through projects like the city park, the annual Shop With a Cop, and serving lunch to our veterans on Veterans Day — all meaningful acts of service that strengthen our town.

We had the pleasure of getting to know one of our newest 2026 members Don Schneider and David Dean with ServiceMaster Restore when they presented their company at our weekly morning meeting.

They offer a variety of services including mold remediation, water restoration, fire and smoke restoration, sewage restoration and crawlspace encapsulation. All of which at one point in time most homeowners have needed one of these services. We now know who to call! NOT THE GHOST BUSTERS........ as Don would say! Call ServiceMaster Restore.

You can reach them at (706) 896-2786. They are on call to help 24 hours a day!
