Black History Month Salute!

Mr. John Willis, Sr. is the husband of Pamela Willis and the father of five children. He retired from Graphic Packaging International after 38 years. Mr. Willis has served his community for many years. In 2006, John and Pamela opened the Country Club Community Center located south of Monroe. Their motto: "Empowering the Community for a Better Future". He operated various programs for the community such as: Summer Youth Empowerment Camp, Recreational and Community Events, Teenage Pregnancy Prevention, High School Dropout Prevention, Adult Computer Literacy, and "Go Green" programs. His "Go Green" program featured his very own Mobile Garden that he took and displayed at local schools and community agencies. He also began a Community Green Garden where he grew fresh produce all year around. While serving the community, he was also grateful for all the long-lasting relationships he developed over the years. Mr. Willis, Sr., thank you for caring and for serving our community!
