The Good Neighbors, Inc. will celebrate its 64th anniversary of the dream that Dr. William "Uncle Bill" and his wife, Maudette Whiteside, had on Saturday.
The mission of the organization is "to provide help to those in need; promoting and strengthening good will and relationships between people; giving advice and comfort to persons of sorrow, affliction and distress; and in general promoting the Golden Rule".
This mission will be exhibited by the Community Service Awards given to both the Avondale Ladies Gill and the Volunteers of the Inner-City Meals on Wheels Program.
These were the groups that helped keep the Whiteside's dream alive, officials said.
The keynote speaker will be a long time supporter, the Honorable Judge John McClary of the East Tennessee Circuit Court of Appeals.
Several young people from the community will receive the Rooks/Sanders Scholarships named after long time volunteers Eunice Rooks and Evelyn Sanders, who spear headed the efforts to raise the funds. The event is being held at 4 p.m. on Saturday at Tucker Baptist Church, 1115 North Moore Road in Chattanooga.
