The Chamber’s Education Committee is Co-Chaired by Karen
Caudell of the Pruitt Foundation and Renee Herron, the Stephens County Middle
School Graduation Coach. We also have representatives from the DOL, Communities
in Schools, and the high school.
The Committee provides opportunities for businesses to build
relationships with our schools for example, through the Partners-in-Education program where businesses invest in our
schools by volunteering time, money and expertise.
The Committee is inviting all Partners, all businesses and
members of the Community to attend the Stephens County School System “Annual
Report Forum.” Hear from our School
Superintendent, Sherrie Whiten on our Schools System’s academic achievements and
future initiatives.
Please mark your calendars for Tuesday, November 13th at the
Gate Cottage on the Toccoa Falls College Campus from 11am – 1pm. Doors open at
10:30am.
Lunch will be served and the cost is $10
for pre-registered guests, $12 for day-of registration. Please call the Chamber at 706-886-2132 to register.
Have a few announcements:
Today the Business After Hours at
Sonic has been postponed.
We will announce the new date once it is
confirmed.
Next Wednesday, November 7th at 8:45am is the Grand Opening Ribbon Cutting
Celebration for Goody’s and store manager Donna Rudaseal. This is different from our usual
ceremony so please mark your calendars for this very special date and time!
That’s next Wednesday, 8:45am in the Stephens Plaza.
This weekend is the last weekend you
will be able to see the Lake Hartwell Art Exhibit in Toccoa! So, swing by the Cornerstone
Restaurant and help celebrate Lake Hartwell’s 50th Golden
Damniversary.
Your Chamber
helps you market your business 24/7, meet other business owners and continue
your business education, all for a little over $15 a month! Join
the Chamber today and let’s build a better Community, together. I’m Wendi Bailey, your Toccoa-Stephens County
Chamber of Commerce President.
