The Governmental Affairs Committee reserves the right to make the final decision on which questions will actually be used during the forum.
The Lincolnton-Lincoln County Chamber of Commerce will again work in conjunction with the Lincoln Times-News to produce its annual Small Business Week Tabloid. The tabloid, a project of the Chamber's Small Business Council, features Chamber events, such as grand openings, networking luncheons, business after hours, seminars, business expo, a categorical listing of all current Chamber members, small business statistics, a review of 2011 Chamber activities, and testimonial articles from new and long time members. Production date is scheduled for May 14, 2012 and copies will be inserted in that day's newspaper.
Ad sales will begin in March and any Chamber member interested in placing an ad in the annual publication should contact the Lincoln Times-News at 704-735-3031.
