At the end of each year the Town of Cheraw recognizes employees who have proven their loyalties through years of service. Employees are treated to lunch at the Country Kitchen, awarded service pins, and many of them receive door prizes.
Cheraw Mayor Andy Ingram, who presented the awards this year, said, “When you look good, we look good as a town and as a community.”
Ingram said he realized that working “in the public eye” can be difficult and commended employees for remembering that aspect of their jobs throughout the year.
“It’s reassuring to see so many people who have remained loyal to the town for so many years,” said Ingram. “It’s evidence we’re doing some things right.”
