A messege from our president, Kathy Smith of Spectra Builders

  

     Happy New Year! It's a great and exciting time to be a part of the Zebulon Community. I am Kathy Smith the 2013 President of the Zebulon Chamber Board of Directors. My husband Tony and I own Spectra Builders, Inc., and we've been a part of the Zebulon Community for 12 years. Our company specializes in commercial interior fitups, renovations, groundup, and design-build projects. We have been Chamber Members for 11 years and I have been on the board for the past three. My involvement with the Chamber has given me many great opportunities to get to know other business owners in the Zebulon area. 

 

     Please help me welcome the following people to the 2013 Zebulon Chamber Board:

Faye Wood, Faye's Photos and Other Creations

Craig Narron, Allstate Insurance - The Narron Agency

Don Mitchell, Norris Creek Outdoor Entertainment Complex & KAM Tool & Die

John Thomas, BB&T

Rob Himmell, BHC Automotive

 

We are excited about the new additions this year and the areas of expertise they will bring to our Board. We would also like to thank Lisa McMahon with PETWAY MILLS & PEARSON, PA, Pat McNally with Gay, Jackson, & McNally, and Darryl Blevins with Eastern Regional Center for their service to the Chamber.

     The board of directors has been planning for this coming year for the past several weeks. We have many exciting things in store for our members. If you are not involved with the chamber, 2013 is your year to get connected! One way you can do this is to make plans now to attend the Zebulon Chamber Annual Banquet. This will be held on Friday, February 15th at East Wake Academy. There will be great food, a speaker, a silent auction, and many new people for you to meet, along with awards presented to different businesses and the announcement of the Zebulon Chamber's Citizen of the Year.

     If you are interested in getting involved in the chamber, please contact our office at 919-269-6320. Pick a favorite event and volunteer for that committee. We'd love to have you!

Our Chamber has obtained employee benefits that, until now, were only available to large employers. For ZCOC Members with 3 or more employees working 20 or more hours a week, you may be eligible for disability, accident and life insurance. Contact ZCOC Member Craig Narron of Allstate - The Narron Agency at 919-269-5184 and look for a special BLAST email coming soon!

I am also looking for a volunteer to help out in the office a few days a week. If you know of anyone who would enjoy answering phones, filing and doing somecomputer work, please let me know. Thank you!

Zebulon DMV gets face-lift!

  

Thank you to Jimmy & Ryan Carmickle for donating their exceptional painting skills.

We are currently redecorating the Zebulon DMV office. The walls have  been painted a happy yellow selected by interior designer and ZCOC member Linda Miller of Indoff, Inc. Linda worked with local artist Melonie Wood on a color scheme. Melonie will be painting a custom mural on the large wall you see as you enter the office. We have a ways to go but stay tuned...it's going to be amazing!
