You Will Be Missed



On behalf of the Sylvester Worth County Board of Directors, Ambassadors, and Staff, we would like to extend our condolences to the McPhaul family. Mr. John McPhaul has served as a Member, Ambassador, and Director of the Chamber since 2007. Mr. McPhaul has played many roles in our community since returning home. He will be missed and our condolences go out to Mrs. Shelly McPhaul and her family.

Funeral Services
All services will be held at Banks Funeral Home
Visitation - Thursday, March 10 from 5 pm - 7 pm
Funeral Service - Friday, March 11, 1 pm - Banks Chapel
Graveside Service - Family only directly following service in the Chapel

Celebration of Life Reception
The McPhaul family will be hosting a Reception and Celebration of Life, in memory of Mr. McPhaul at the Sylvester Women's Club, on Pope Street, immediately after the service. He wouldn’t want us to mourn and instead would love for us all to come together and celebrate his memory.

In Lieu of Flowers
In lieu of flowers, they ask that you make any donations to Best Friends Humane Society in Worth County or Ed's Truck Stop. Ms. Gail Lee will be catering the celebration with all of Mr. John's favorite foods. Any money received over the cost of the food will be donated directly to Best Friends.

50/50 Raffle



We are so excited to kick off the Sylvester-Worth County Chamber of Commerce’s 2022 50/50 Raffle! 

Firstly, we would like to thank everyone who participated in last year’s raffle! It is due to this participation that the Chamber will be able to provide scholarships to six Worth County High School CTAE 2022 graduates! We would like to be able to provide even more scholarships via this year’s raffle! 

Just like last year’s raffle, we will be hoping to reach a goal of $20,000! That means one person will win up to $10,000! Our portion of the raffle will go to CTAE scholarships at Worth County High School and as well as going back into our Shop Local program! The tickets will be $20 apiece and will be sold from now to December 15th, 2022! The tickets can be purchased at the Sylvester-Worth County Chamber of Commerce! If you have any questions please call 229-776-7718 or email us at info@swcountychamber.com .
