Cookson Hills Community Action Agency will observe the following holidays as determined by the Board of Directors for 2010:
| It's Your Tax Dollars! Let the Stimulus Package work for you! President Obama's stimulus package has poured additional funds into the weatherization program. This means more funds to fix up homes in Adair, Cherokee and Sequoyah counties so they will be more energy efficient. If you have applied before and were denied because your income was too high, apply again as the income levels have risen considerably. The program is free to the public. It's your tax dollars – use it now when you need it! For more information on the weatherization program click here. Contact any of our offices for an application. |
| Hot dogs, scavenger hunt, blind obstacle course, three-legged races, softball, pie-in-the-face, biggest loser and lots of visiting make for a very fine Agency picnic. |
