March was another great month for the Chamber! We had 7 new members join the Chamber: Art By Cheryl (Cheryl Swift), Capital City Home Loans (Mary Wallace), Eddie Evans, Gutterwerks (Robbie Blanton), Hancock Whitney Bank (Tyler Toles), Oyster Boss Oyster Co. (Reid Tilley), and St. James Bay Golf Resort (Becky Freeman). This brings our total membership to 310!
We also had another successful networking luncheon in March. Our host was Sherlock Springs and our great lunch was catered by The Kast Net. If you are looking to rent a venue for a day or weekend, Sherlock Springs is a great choice! And you can’t go wrong having The Kast Net cater your next party or event! Thank you to all of our members who brought guests and door prizes and to Petra Shuff and our Events Committee volunteer coordinator Mary Wallace for putting together another successful luncheon despite the rain! This month I want to ask you what is the role of a good Chamber of Commerce? Well, we are more than the coordinator of great social events! Besides promoting its member businesses as I highlighted in last month’s message, I believe a Chamber should also be involved in promoting sound, good business growth in the community. This is done, in part, by the Chamber’s members and, in large part, by our sister organization - the Economic Development Council. More here
