Saturday , September 12th, Blythewood High
School Boys and Girls Basketball Teams will hold a car wash fundraiser at the BP gas station on
235 Blythewood Road. The car wash will take place from 10
am to 2 pm. The cost of the car wash is $5. Donations are welcomed.
Funds raised will be used to support the boys and girls basketball
teams. For more information
call 803-984-2226 or 803-348-5485.
For more than ten years,
the Greater Blythewood Chamber of Commerce has been
in charge of the town's annual Christmas parade.
However, the chamber board has recently decided
to focus more on traditional chamber activities and has begun the transition to a citizen-committee-run Christmas
parade with the
town's blessing. The goal is to have the parade continue to
act as a college scholarship fundraiser for deserving, local-area
high school seniors.
This year's parade, on Sunday,
December 13th, will be run by the chamber and the citizens
committee together; with the 2016 parade run solely by the citizens
committee. The
chamber would like to hold the first committee meeting in
mid-September. If you are interested in being a part of this
exciting new effort, please contact the chamber's office manager,
Kitty Kelly at (803) 712-3806 or kitty@blythewoodchamber.com.

One more thing.... Since I write this
newsletter, I want to take this opportunity to wish a very
sweet grandparent,
Papa Moose,
a Happy 100th Birthday.
He was born September 12, 1915 and after
many hardships made it to West Point in 1939. He served in WWII and
had a wonderful military career of 30 years, taking 4 kids, and
Grandma Bette Ann all over the world. Papa Moose would be 100
years old on Saturday with quite a legacy behind him. My father
is still missed by his family.
