I have a few announcements for you today:

The Chamber is offering a new marketing opportunity, in partnership with the Toccoa Falls College student video production group, called Eagle Vision Productions. The group is partnering to produce the TruVista Community Channel’s new 30 minute show called “Out & About in Toccoa-Stephens County”. They’ll also produce commercials to air on the show. Only $25 for wording and a picture slide show or $50 for a video. Call or come by the Chamber for more information.

We are so proud of the Keep Toccoa Stephens County Beautiful Director Linda Scofield and the Clean Community Competition.  We are over half way through and are still going strong. There are over 21 cleaning teams competing to clean up our community. Help them get more points by calling us to schedule a time to pick up your trash, your tires and even haul off your junk cars. The challenge ends May 31.     

Finally Today at 5pm is Taste of Toccoa in Downtown Toccoa. Everything you could ever want - from sweet to salty - and new this year our very own Currahee Vineyard’s wine tasting at the Cornerstone and X Factor.     

Your Chamber celebrates all progress by posting positive stories on the web site at www.toccoagachamber.com under the “Good News” tab.  Visit the web site and be amazed at all our community has accomplished. 

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