Tourism Committee



Last week, the Tourism Committee held its quarterly meeting at the Elderite Center. Deborah Brown gave us a tour of the beautiful, historic facility and we thoroughly enjoyed our time!

This place is such an assset to our community and we are so thankful a committed group has worked steady to maintain its honor!



Nonprofit Board Training



On August 17, we hosted the first of a two part Nonprofit Board Training Series at the Chamber. We were so glad to be able to partner with Archway Partnership & bring UGA Fanning Institute for Leadership to our community to provide this valuable information! If you serve on a board or committee in any capacity come join us for the next session on August 31st! We’d love to have you! Give us a call to register.



See Ya Later, Libby and Anna Kate!



Help us wish a “see ya later” to our AWESOME high school interns, Libby Mathis & Anna Kate Robinson. Libby served as our Work Based Learning student for two years and Anna Kate completed her ISP this past spring and continued to stick around this summer. If any of you called, visited or attended a chamber event you probably were assisted by these ladies. They became such an asset to our building and we will miss them tons! They both will be starting their next chapter at the University of Georgia in the coming week.

Businesses, If you are looking for an extra set of hands we have some awesome programs within our schools that can help fill those spots! Give us a call and we can fill you in!

Prepare Now for Summer Severe Weather!

Summer is here and that means we’re in for some hot, sometimes unpredictable weather! Are you ready for the severe rainstorms? It may be time to take a good look at your homeowners insurance and make sure you are covered for the unexpected!

Also, now that we’re in the hottest times of the year, we are using our HVAC systems more and more. Now is a good time to clean your system’s ductwork and make sure it is free of debris and contaminants to help your unit run more efficiently and also, help you breathe easier!

Each year, our local SERVPRO professionals respond to scenes of weather-related mayhem, helping families and business owners recover from flooding, fire, wind damage and so much more. If severe weather does happen, we’re always here to help!
