CU Community Credit Union spreads Christmas cheer Dec. 14 at Boyd Elementary School in Springfield. Longtime credit union volunteer Merl Wilhelm dressed as Santa Claus to deliver holiday gifts to a second-grade class at the school. CU Community staff members raised more than $300 to help purchase the gifts, which included clothing, toys and school supplies.
Springfield event venue Belamour LLC gained new ownership; The Wok on West Bypass opened; and Hawk Barber & Shop closed on a business purchase that expanded its footprint to Ozark.
