Wind Creek Supports Schools!
Wind Creek and the Poarch Band of Creek Indians have been good neighbors to Eclectic Middle School in the past, and they showed up recently to bless the school again. EMS librarian Amy Harrell heard of a program where guests at Wind Creek can make donations before leaving the facilities. These donations are collected on a monthly basis and then given to area organizations that ask to be considered. She contacted Wind Creek, asking for assistance in providing books for students. Wind Creek representatives came with a check in the amount of $6,701.01! Thank you for your extreme generosity!
