Thank you for providing transportation to the
Washington Summit. |
From the desk of Janna Bass...
The Clinton-Sampson Chamber of Commerce is honored to be able to provide members opportunities to network, advertise, attend seminars, and more. From the Chamber serving as a voice to its members in Washington D.C. (see above photo) to continuing to work on the Chamber Coat Closet signature project to help those in need stay warm this winter... September has held new opportunities creating endless possibilities.
The opportunities continue through September with our participation in the first Available Properties Event in Downtown Clinton, Chamber Day in Harrells, New Member Showcase at the VFW, continued involvement in the Town of Garland and Roseboro NC Step Committees, new involvement with the Downtown Clinton Economic Restructuring Committee, and the start of the 2012-2013 Clinton-Sampson Adult Leadership Classes. Again, each of these opportunities hold endless possibilities.
We thank each of you for your support and dedication to the Chamber and Sampson County and we continue to encourage each of you to take advantage of the networking, advertising, and educational opportunities the Chamber offers and
let the Chamber work for you! |
