"Prior to LG I thought I understood the challenges that minorities face, since I was an active volunteer helping immigrant communities. However, the experiences that LG offered me opened my eyes to a complex community full of opportunities and potential but also challenges. The experimental visits allowed me to come in contact with underserved and isolated communities that have been forgotten in the midst of the unprecedented growth and development that Greenville has experienced in recent years. Being able to connect with individuals facing extraordinary challenges planted a seed in me that would gradually sprout and become my passion."
-Adela Mendoza, Executive Director for Hispanic Alliance

UPCOMING CHAMBER EVENTS

BEST Tip of the Week: Did you know that it is better not to "Top Off" your gas tank? Your gas tank needs extra room to allow the gasoline to expand. If you top off your tank, the extra gas may evaporate into your vehicle`s vapor collection system. This system may become clogged and not work properly, causing your vehicle to run poorly and have high gas emissions. Additionally, many gas stations are equipped with vapor recovery systems, so the additional gas that you put into your tank would be pumped back into the gas station`s tank, even though you would be paying for it. For more ways to save money and our environment, visiFurmanBEST.biz.
