The Madison County Extension

Council is sponsoring a Coupon-

ing Class on July 17th from 6 to 8

pm. The instructor will be Amy

Woodall who has appeared on

Extreme Couponing. Amy has

been a couponer for 3 years. It all started when her husband

became ill and could not work. Amy, at the time, was work-

ing part time. After seeing someone on television save $17

with coupons, Amy decided that she could also do that. Af-

ter many hours of researching, she started coupon in June of

2009 and has not looked back. According to Amy: “We are

a family of six (that includes 2 teenage boys!!), and I spend

an average of $200 a month on groceries, health and beauty

items and paper items. This didn't happen overnight but with

sticking with couponing it finally did happen. I do have a

small stockpile nothing huge, but it is enough that if some-

thing tragic happens we wouldn't have to worry about food

for 2 or 3 months.” Join us for our Coupon Class and learn

all the ins and outs of couponing. For more information or

to register, please call the Madison County Extension

Center at 783-3303. Our programs are open to all.

I’d like to say a big thank you to Cap-

tain Eric Hovis with the Frederick-

town Police Department. Captain Hovis

was gracious enough to take the time

out of his busy schedule to fill in for

our guest speaker at our June Lunch-

eon. So from everyone at the Chamber

of Commerce Thank You very much .

You are doing a great job and we ap-

preciate everything you do!

Don’t Miss the signups for Opti-

mist Club Soccer!!! Signups will

be held Every Saturday In July

from 9am to 12pm at Freder-

icktown Country Mart.

Meet the New Chamber Director

Hello everyone, my name is Kyle Wright and I am the new Chamber Di-

rector. I enjoy long walks on the beach and …… oh wait I guess that’s

not really what I’m supposed to put here. I’ve lived in Fredericktown

for about six years now, and I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. I’m

married to Veronika Wright and we have two little boys, Keiden (7) and

Garret (3). I’ve been heavily involved in the community for the last cou-

ple of years including being a member of the Fredericktown Revitaliza-

tion Initiative, serving on the Arts and Tourism committee, coaching baseball and soccer and most re-

cently serving on the Planning and Zoning Commission. I’m really excited about working for the com-

munity and striving to make it the place where people can raise a family and take pride in where they

are from. I think we can do this by taking the Chamber back to its roots of being a community organiza-

tion that’s based on community involvement. We need everyone to work together! We have multiple or-

ganizations all working towards the same goals, but they aren’t working together. So everyone be pre-

pared because you’re going to start seeing a lot of me. I’m going to make it a point to get out and com-
