Welcoming New Teachers
The Workforce Development Committee is once again stuffing bags to welcome new teachers to our community. These bags will be delivered to Wicomico County teachers at their kick off breakfast in August. Bags will also be delivered to members schools including: Salisbury Christian School, Salisbury School and Wicomico Day School. We would love to provide even more goodies and community information (advertising specialties and discount coupons) than we have in the past. Historically we have found that a large percentage of these teachers are new to the area and not just new to teaching. This will be one of the first contacts that they will have with our business community. We feel it is important to make them feel welcome as well as educate them on our area businesses and our area in general. The product, coupon or promotional item should be available for the Chamber by August 5, 2011. If you are interested in helping with this project in any way, please contact Brad at the Chamber for further information (410-749-0144). |
