In the spirit of the community caring for each other, Marlys Myers along with about 12 other community members have met and formed a new group called CSI-Big Sandy (Community Services and Improvement Big Sandy). Marlys said, “We are basically just creating it. We put a lot of thought into dissolving Chamber, but we still wanted to do stuff.”
The emphasis has changed a little. “The Chamber was about bringing people into Big Sandy and this group is about doing things for the people of Big Sandy.” They still want to do the Christmas stroll for example. They’ve only had one meeting and a lot of exciting and fun ideas surfaced.
One idea was to resurface the tennis court. Nothing has been finalized just ideas brought forth. They will be meeting on Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. at the Mint, but they don’t know what Tuesday at this time, and they’ll be changing where they meet. There is no membership and everyone is welcome to come, you don’t have to own a business, even high school kids can come.
You aren’t required to attend every meeting. They want the meetings to be short and a time to get together to have fun. “We just want to enjoy everyone’s enthusiasm.” It won’t be a formalized group, but community friends connecting to other friends. “It will be a win, win!” Watch for announcements.
