Have you seen what the Chamber has to offer? If you haven't checked out everything from meeting rooms to the lobby display area for businesses to hosting opportunities for coffee clubs and afternoon mixers, then you really need to take advantage of these and many other benefits.  

Likewise, you'll want to visit the Hot Deals section where you are given the opportunity to offer business to consumer deals. 

Also be sure to give your employees or even your customers, the Tennessee prescription card that gives up to 75% discount on medicine and supplies.

Are you taking advantage of the Office Depot Discount program for Chamber members? There are great deals and even a monthly flyer with more savings.

And finally, a few events we need your participation with. Please get your nominations in for the Business Excellence Awards. This is an outstanding way to recognize those businesses and leaders who do a great job. Get your tickets for the Smoky Mountain Artist/Patron Pottery Party on June 1.
