Hello everyone, I just wanted to let everyone know about our meeting this past Monday. We drew for the gun raffle and Carolyn Manners from McCaysville won. We also elected new officers with Mike Harper becoming new President, T.J. Thompson VP , Jerry Daves Secretary, and Don Clement remaining as our Treasurer. We know all of these individuals will do a great job and appreciate their service to the FCSHOF. These officers will all begin there duties effective immediately. Calendar updates ; It was decided not to have a HOF meeting in December but we will have one next month on Monday November 5th at 6 pm. Epworth Community Club. Our banquet next year will be on Saturday April 6th, 2019 at 4 pm. ,while our Freddy Cook Golf Tournament will be on Saturday June 8th, 2019 at Whitepath. Finally we decided to have Ron Beavers to work on a “Circle of Honor” plaque for past board member service recognition. Thanks for all you do.

In 2015 the Fannin County Sports Hall of Fame began a program of awarding scholarships to senior Fannin County High School scholar-athletes for the continuation of their studies at the college level. Each year an equal number of scholarships are awarded to female and male students. The number and amount of the scholarships may vary each year, depending upon the availability of funds. Since the FCSHOF is a non-profit organization and depends on the generosity of the public toward our fund-raising events, the amount available for scholarships is directly proportionate to the giving levels of our supporters. Since 2015, a total of $12,000 has been distributed to qualified students as follows: 2015 – Molly Chandler and Dusty Dyer; 2016 – Colton Carpenter and Ashley Rhodes; 2017 – Kelli Cox, Parker Brown, Haylee Franklin and Lucus Walden and 2018 – Payton Holt, Cody Jacobs, Shayna Bowyer and Lillyanna Ballew. A plaque honoring the scholarship winners is on display in the upper level of the Fannin County Recreation Center. Anyone wishing to participate in the scholarship program may send contributions to: FCSHOF, P.O. Box 775, McCaysville GA 30555.
