Hello this is Wendi Bailey your Toccoa Stephens County Chamber of Commerce President with your Weekly Chamber Update! 

Today is the Annual Drugs Don’t Work conference with speaker Adam Raulerson, of Laurelwood at the NEGA Health System.  This conference satisfies the training requirement for businesses to maintain their drug free certification.  It also serves to recruit more businesses - to become certified drug free - and realize the 7.5% savings on the Worker’s Compensation premiums.  If you would like to learn more on how your business can become a certified drug free workplace please call the Chamber today!

I have a few announcements for you:

NEXT WEDNESDAY is the North Georgia Credit Union, Chamber Challenge Golf Tournament! There's probably no better place in the world to conduct business than on the golf course.  The tournament is all filled up but there is still time to promote your business with a hole sign on the tee box. It’s a great way to market your business to both Franklin and Stephens Counties! Don’t miss it! Call 706-886-2132 today!

NEXT THURSDAY May 3^rd is a Grand Opening Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for Reynold’s Pool & Spa at 10am at their new location on Big A Road next to Mike’s Pizza. Come meet Rich, Aida and Heather Reynolds and hear all about their new business operation.     

Finally, the Chamber’s Annual Meeting and Awards Ceremony with Key Note Speaker, the State Attorney General, Sam Olens is Tuesday May 8^th.  This is an opportunity to celebrate the Chamber’s successes, recognize our outstanding board members, Ambassadors and businesses, and install our new slate of officers including our new Chairman Lee Ellen Fields of Johnson and Fields, CPA’s.   

The chamber is the leading, private business association in our community.  The Welcome Center distributes maps and information to over 15,000 visitors each year.  Don’t miss the opportunity to advertise in the latest edition of county the map – 5,000 maps will be ordered this spring.  It is an excellent way to promote your business and to promote Buying Local!

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