With just days before Christmas I know that there are some of you out there that just hasn’t got all the Christmas gifts yet. It happens every year, and to be honest I fall into this trap each year as well, so I know what it’s like.
So what would I suggest for that person that has everything?
Well, how about a gift that could save their life, this year, heaven forbid!
Air Evac is our local air ambulance helicopter service providing medical transport which dramatically reduces the time to an emergency treatment facility.
So, let’s look at this for a moment, if you’re in an accident or have a medical emergency and Air Evacuation is determined to be your fastest and safest option Air Evac Lifeteam can fly you to the nearest appropriate hospital at a substantial fee, because keeping a helicopter ready 24-7 isn’t cheap. That’s OK, but I can’t afford that and I don’t think my insurance will cover that, what now, I want the best, BUT there is an answer …
a 1 year family membership is affordable at $65 a household*, plus your out-of-pocket costs for air medical flight are covered if we transport you. * subject to the size of the family

Skywarn is a program the National Weather Service uses to improve severe storm watches and warnings. Trained volunteers serve as storm spotters. These spotters pass on vital “ground truth” information to forecasters during severe weather events. They are the eyes and ears not only for forecasters, but for the community as a whole Skywarn volunteers come from all walks of life, and generally have two things in common – an interest in weather as well as an interest in serving their community.

Please Join the Waycross Ware County Chamber of Commerce in this event
During this shopping season remember to shop local and support all our local businesses. Dollars spent out of town return little to our community. Don’t forget your locally owned small businesses. For every $100 spent in a locally owned small business, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures.
Below are Chamber members featuring their unique products. The first 15 customers mentioning Shop Small Saturday will receive a free Shop Small canvas tote bag at these locations.
