Teachers Get 'Revved Up' At Chamber Event

    Tuesday brought the annual Breakfast for Educators event to the First Baptist Church of Umatilla, welcoming hundreds of area educators for a morning breakfast event designed to recognize educators' efforts as the new school year arrives.  Organized by the Umatilla Chamber of Commerce and supported by a host of area businesses and organizations, the event served as the first event inside the church's newly renovated events center.
    This year, the chamber organized the event under the 'Start Your Engines' theme, with volunteers and school staff members dressing in their favorite racing-themed apparel.
    The event welcomes support from a variety of community organizations, with members of the Umatilla Masons and Umatilla Kiwanis Club volunteering during the event.  In addition, Umatilla City Council members Kaye Adams and Chris Creech were on hand to help serve breakfast.  Event sponsor and state representative Nan Cobb was on hand, as was assistant Umatilla City Manager Adam Bolton.
    The event welcomes staff from Alee Academy, Altoona School, Spring Creek Charter, as well as Umatilla elementary, middle, and high schools.
