Groundbreaking Ceremony


Drew was so excited to be a part of the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Lumbee Boys & Girls Club and Community Center. The new center will be located in Tribal District 2 at the intersection of Hilly Branch and Back Swamp roads. The community center will provide a place for tribal members to meet, fellowship and have social events. It will also host a Lumbee Boys & Girls Club which Drew is looking forward to attending. Below are the remarks that Drew made at the ceremony.

"Hello, Everyone. I'm Little Miss Lumbee, Emily Drew Chavis, and I would like to welcome each and every one of you to today's groundbreaking ceremony. I live right down the road and I am proud to call this community my home. So, on behalf of the boys and girls of the Lumbee Tribe, thank you for building this facility for us to learn about our heritage, spend time with our elders, and have fun. Thank you."
