Toccoa-Stephens County Chamber of Commerce

Thursday 7-26-12

Do you still have unanswered questions about TSPLOST?  Do you know who you are voting for?  Do you need a sample ballot? Call or come by and see us at the Chamber.

On election day, next Tuesday, you will vote for or against T-SPLOST and some regions will vote for it and some will vote against it.  Some regions will start collecting the one penny sales tax on January 1 and some regions will wait two years and then maybe go through the whole process all over again.  

There is still time to call us at 706-886-2132 with your questions about the transportation projects, the positives and the negatives. 

Voting is a right, and a responsibility.  Please encourage your friends and family members to get out and vote! Your Chamber’s role has been to be the Community’s source for information.  Come get the candidate bios and sample ballots in the Welcome Center.

Few announcements for you today:

First - The Concerned Citizens of Toccoa-Stephens County need to raise money now to fight for clean air for our children and citizens and to stop the horrible smells coming from the Wilbros Plant. $3 raffle tickets for a chance to win a 55” flat screen Sony TV are available at the Chamber and Welcome Center.

Second – Next Tuesday we have a Member Orientation to answer all your questions about the new online business directory features and other member benefits. It will be at 5pm in the Chamber Office.  

The NEW Chamber Business Directory will soon be delivered to over 462 members. Have you seen the enhanced online listings that include your logo, business information and photos? Join the other Chamber members who market themselves and network to turn their prospects into profits!      

That’s your weekly Update. I’m Wendi Bailey, your Toccoa Stephens County Chamber of Commerce President.
