In cooperation with the Tecumseh Public School System, the Tecumseh Chamber of Commerce is hosting a Teacher Appreciation Awards Luncheon to honor the teachers who will receive the Lola C. Durham and President's awards.

Our next T.A.G. Meeting will be held at BancFirst in Tecumseh on April 14th at 9am.



Don't forget we have a new progressive drawing to encourage membership participation that leads to volunteers. The progressive drawing is currently at $100. If your business would like to contribute to the growth of the T.A.G. program, please contact our office and learn all the ways you can help.

If you would like more information about the progressive drawing and how it works, please visit this page and consider either attending or sponsoring.
