Four Oaks Chamber of Commerce

2018 Halloween Decorating Contest Winners

Congratulations to Keene & Associates Insurance Agency for winning the 2018 Halloween Decorating Contest.  They received a trophy and half off chamber membership up to $150.  The staff was very excited about the win and indicated “that everyone who participated did an outstanding job and are grateful to live in a town with such a fun sense of community.”

Part of the mission of the Four Oaks Chamber of Commerce is to provide opportunities for our members to connect with our community. Building a strong community is vital to the growth of businesses.  Every year hundreds of “trick or treaters” celebrate in Four Oaks.  We thought it would be fun for members to get into the spirit and decorate.  We achieved our goals and made Four Oaks Boo-tiful!

Many community members complimented the decorations and really enjoyed the creativity of all the participants.  Participants included, Four Oaks Town Hall, Ogi Designs, Darlene’s Cone Cave, Johnston Now, Tired Iron Classics, Sloan Communications and Keene & Associates Insurance Agency.  Thank you to the Judges, Theron Kammerer, Scentsy Independent Consultant and Bette Carpenter of Four Oaks Interiors.  Everyone looks forward to next year!

Robert John Meehan once wrote, “Every Child has a different learning style and pace.  Each child is unique, not only capable of learning but also capable of succeeding.” Megan Lee teaches her students to be successful in their very own learning style.  She always has a smile on her face and encourages her students to do their very best and to never give up.   The love she has for her students is evident in her every day teaching where she focuses on each individual child.  She is a mentor to not only her students, but also the faculty at South Johnston High School. Mrs. Lee has enabled her kids to have a voice and to be a part of the entire student body at South Johnston.
