It’s a New Year!

Can you believe it’s almost February? Where did January go? By now, renewing chamber investors have received their 2009 chamber calendar in the mail. We’ve got lots of good opportunities for you in the upcoming weeks. This week Donuts and Dialogue program, January 23, is on how to use your personal data assistant. Here’s an opportunity for you to be a hero with a customer – – invite a customer(s) to attend with you and you pay for their attendance, if not a chamber member. It’s only ten bucks and I’ll bet you will have a customer for life. Well, at least a good friend. Next Friday, January 30, Coffee and Contacts for 2009 kicks off at KC & Company Salon and Day Spa. Bring plenty of business cards for swapping. Here’s an opportunity for your to build up you contacts and first quarter sales! Back to back with C&C, will the be the CItizen’s Academy of Politics – everything you wanted to know about running for public office and/or working in a political campaign.Registration is $125 before January 23. On Thursday, February 5, the Chamber will host its annual “Celebration” at the Cellularsouth parking lot. This “celebration” was a huge success last year and it will be more of the same for this year, only with a Jamacian flavor. Tickets are $50. In between, we have Small Business University and Women’s Council – -both must attend events. So, mark up that calendar – -we’ve got lots of opportunities!!!
