More and more, people are searching online, so call us today to learn how you can take advantage of the new enhanced directory listing.

Voting is a right, and a responsibility.  Please learn the issues and encourage your friends and family members to get out and vote! Your Chamber’s role is to be the Community’s source for information. We have candidate bios and sample ballots. Call us with your questions at 706-886-2132.  We’ll post all the questions and answers on our Blog and Facebook page so we can all learn together.  

Few announcements for you today:

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

Second – Today we have a Ribbon Cutting Celebration for Stewart’s Downtown Discount Drugs new ownership and management at 10am at their location on Sage Street. We hope to see you there!
