The Lumberton Area Chamber of Commerce Image Committee nominated Mickey Gregory for the prestigious award of The Order of the Long Leaf Pine. Senator Danny Britt presented the award on June 27th, 2024 in the presence of Chamber members, family and friends.
The Order of the Long Leaf Pine is North Carolina’s highest civilian honor given to recognize lifetime achievements of community service. It is given by the Governor to those who have had significant impact upon our State. Mickey’s decades of service have left an indelible mark on our community with a legacy characterized by tireless advocacy, visionary leadership and a commitment to the betterment of our City, County and State.
Most recently, Mickey retired from Canal Wood, LLC after 43 years. From 2008 to 2015, she served as Executive Director of the Lumberton Visitors Bureau, promoting Lumberton and Robeson County throughout the United States. She organized the first Lumber River Day Festival and was instrumental in Lumberton’s designation as North Carolina’s first Certified Retirement Community. She also led efforts for Lumberton’s selection as the film location for the movie “Shake off the World”. In 2015, she received a Certificate of Appreciation from the Governor recognizing her contributions to her community and State. In 2016, she received the State of North Carolina Cardinal Award for her service to North Carolina. Mickey was also the first recipient of the Robeson County Arts Council’s Proud Peacock Award for her support of the Arts.
A devoted cheerleader for our community, Mickey has served as a member of multiple organizations and boards, including Robeson Community College Foundation, United Way, Lumberton Community Relations Committee, Southeastern Health’s Hospitable Neighbors Committee, Lumberton Rotary, Robeson Road Runners, Robeson County Arts Council, Robeson County History Museum and NC Cooperative Extension Joint Advisory Committee. She has served as Vice President of the Rediscover Downtown Lumberton Board and as Chair of the Lumberton Area Chamber of Commerce. In 2019 while serving as Chamber Chair, she organized an Image Committee to promote only positive news, events and opportunities throughout Robeson County. This is shared on the Facebook page “Trending in Robeson” where “ALL THINGS GOOD” are promoted.
Mickey is a proud graduate of The University of North Carolina at Pembroke. She remains dedicated to her alma mater and has served on the UNCP Alumni Board and UNCP Foundation Board. She is a true Braves fan and is a member of the UNCP Braves Cluib. In 2012, she was named an honorary co-chair of UNCP’s 125th Anniversary Committee. In 2015, she received the UNCP Outstanding Alumna Award. In 2020, she was appointed to UNCP’s Board of Trustees and currently serves as Secretary of the Board.
The Lumberton Area Chamber of Commerce applauds Mickey Gregory for her volunteer service, extraordinary achievements and substantial contributions to our community and State. She has contributed significantly to the City of Lumberton and County of Robeson and played a pivotal role in the growth and success of both.

First Baptist Church ECM First Baptist Church
First Baptist Church ECM
First Baptist Church Lumberton, 7th and Walnut, has joined the Lumberton Chamber. They have also done a complete renovation of its Early Childhood Ministry facilities. In addition to being bright and inviting, the 70 year old facility had a complete plumbing upgrade, replacing all water supply pipes enabling each classroom to have direct access to toilets and sinks, bringing it up to the most modern childcare codes and recommendations. Teachers were given input to help choose colors and aesthetics so that they and their children are comfortable in the space.
Additionally, the NC Pre-K space was renovated in the second phase of construction. The NC Pre-K rooms are large enough to house twice the number of children which come to them, giving wonderful space for learning centers, and ample room for. movement and activities.
Registration is ongoing, with slots available for 12 two year olds, 5 three year olds, and 10 four year olds in the fall. NC Pre K applications are being accepted at First Baptist in the day care office and at Robeson County Partnership for Children, 210 E. 2nd Street.

LUMBERTON CHEVROLET BUICK GMC HUMMER cuts the ribbon!
The Lumberton Area Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting today for the new expansion of Lumberton Chevrolet Buick GMC Hummer’s Body Shop!
Bill Shotwell, Executive General Manager, stated “We are proud to announce the massive expansion of our body shop. Led by Body Shop Manager Donald Britt and his team-the expansion added 12,400 sq. feet to the existing building . We are now the largest body shop within 200 miles including state-of-the-art equipment for all body parts. Lumberton Chevrolet Buick GMC works on all makes and models. We recently received the “Best of the Best” Customer Satisfaction Award from Allstate for being in the top 2% in the nation, located across from Lumberton High at 500 Linkhaw Road. With this new expansion, Lumberton Chevrolet Buick GMC plans to add more jobs to our county.
Congratulations to Lumberton Chevrolet Buick GMC Hummer on their new addition to their body shop and thank you for your commitment to better serve the needs of our community!
Regional Modulars Cuts The Ribbon
The ribbon was cut for Regional Modulars on February 28th, its one-year anniversary. Regional Modulars is part of a national chain of 70+ retail locations and is the only one of its kind in the company. The company has nine locations in the Carolinas, but two of the nine are in Lumberton and can serve all of NC and SC with manufactured and modular homes.
Bender Chavis, General Manager of Regional Modulars, noted that the team is constructing homes as far as 4.5 hours away from Lumberton at the moment, but is excited to see that the local business is increasing. Bender attributes their success to the team’s determination to provide an exceptional customer experience. Tyler Wright, Vice President, stated that modular homes offer many of the benefits of site-built construction including exterior elevations, build quality, customization, finance opportunities, and resale value, but typically come in at a better price per square foot and are often fully constructed and ready to move into more quickly. To expedite the process further, Regional Modulars has been acquiring property locally and is offering land/home packages that are move-in-ready immediately.
The business celebrated with the ribbon cutting as well as serving a delicious brunch to all attendees. Several drawings were held, and many won gifts. The business is located at 307 N. Roberts Avenue in Lumberton. They can be reached at 910-827-8270. Give them a call today or stop by to tour their display models.
Pictured: Bender Chavis – General Manager cutting the ribbon along with his wife Tanya, Debbie Branyon – Chamber Chairperson, Mayor Bruce Davis, Councilman Eric Chavis, Jason King-Assistant – County Manager, Tyler Wright – Regional Vice President, and many members of the Regional Modulars team.
