The Batesburg-Leesville Chamber of Commerce, Leesville Merchants As-
sociation and the Batesburg Business Association plan to join forces quarterly and partner on projects like bill-board advertising, special speakers, business oppor-tunities and various com-munity projects. Members of these organi-zations are all hard working citizens and community leaders who are dedicated to helping the town shine.
The first joint meeting was held at Southern Occasions in historic downtown Batesburg September 27. A brief intro-duction was given by BBA President Ra-chel Taylor, followed by Brian Shealy, LMA President, giving an overview of the value of “partnering” with one another. Clos-ing remarks were made by the newly ap-pointed Chamber of Commerce President Mike Taylor. Special guest speaker, middle school student Belle Scott, spoke about the value of being from a small town and her education plans. She was recently named the National American Miss SC Pre-Teen and volunteers in the community weekly. Following the introductions was a “meet and greet,” giving the different association members the opportunity to network.
speCial Thanks To The Walmart Teach-er Rewards Program! Batesburg-Leesville Walmart rewarded B-L Elementary teach-ers and students with gift cards and sup-plies. Ten lucky teachers each received
$100 Walmart gift cards along with beautiful bou-quets of roses. All of the other BLES teachers were given $10 Walmart gift cards and bags filled with classroom supplies. The lo-cal Walmart Teacher Re-wards Program team also brought boxes of school
supplies that will be given to students who have a need throughout the year.
The Twin CiTy TournamenT of Bands was a big success! Fifteen marching bands from across the state traveled to Bates-burg-Leesville High School September 24 to compete in the second annual tourna-ment. The B-L Band Boosters sponsor the event as a fundraiser for the band pro-gram. A special thanks to all the volun-teers who worked hard to make the tour-nament such a success!
Happy 40th birthday to Mrs. Catherine Oxner!
Happy 70th birthday to Mr. Jim Jami-son!
Happy 90th birthday to Mrs. Idell A. Shealy!
As Henri Frederic Amiel once said, “To know how to grow old is the master work of wisdom, and one of the most diffi-cult chapters in the great art of living.” To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, and reverent, now that is to triumph over old age. Here’s to us all finding the wisdom to master the great art of living!

Looking out for you.
We’d like to thank our members for helping us score an “89” in the recent American Customer Satisfaction* Index. Your feedback puts Mid-Carolina Electric Cooperativea full 14 points higher than the utility industry average.
Even though ACSI recognizes “customer” satisfaction, MCEC members are in fact “owners.” That’s an important distinction. And it’s why we strive to provide a level of service that’s second to none.
Naturally, we’re honored. But it won’t go to our head. We’ll remain the dependablesource of electricity our members never have to think twice about. Unless, of course,they’re being surveyed by the ACSI.
*Touchstone Energy ACSI member ratings using the ACSI customer satisfaction survey questions are compared to the ACSI ratingsof residential customers of the U.S. largest investor-owned utilities.
