"Back to School" night was a hit!
We welcomed Dr. Martha McMillan from East Ridge Elementary, who gave us an inside look at the incredible work happening at her school as well as the challenges they’re tackling with heart and determination.

Our Hospitality Committee added a fun nostalgic touch with brown paper bag dinners (PB&J and ham‑and‑cheese sandwiches—just like old times), and our members gathered a big school supply donation that our very own Harry hauled back to their campus.

⭐ Sponsor Shout‑Out: Camp Jordan-East Ridge Parks and Recreation Department⭐
We extend a heartfelt thank‑you to East Ridge Parks & Recreation Department for their support of this year’s Corvettes for Kids Car Show Fundraiser. They make it possible for us to host a fun, family‑friendly event right here in the heart of East Ridge while raising money that directly supports kids and families in our community.

Camp Jordan continues to stand as East Ridge’s premier sports and event facility — a place where tournaments, community gatherings, and major events thrive. Its top‑tier amenities and welcoming atmosphere make it the perfect home for a fundraiser like ours, and we’re grateful for the team that keeps it running at its best.

Thank you, East Ridge Parks & Recreation, for helping us bring this event to life and supporting our mission to serve local kids and families.
