| Membership/ public relations/ fundraising
committee plans on increased profile

by Paul Deeton
Committee Chainman

The membership/public rela-
tions/fundraising committee will
look at increasing the membership
in our Chamber by increasing the
Chamber profile in the community
and region.

PAUL DEETON
Naturally, funding is important
in order to do this, and projects

will be undertaken to raise the
needed dollars.

Committee members are Mari-
lyn Lee (General Manager), Caro-
lyn Kornatz, Cory Porter, John
Robertson, Rory McGrath and
chairman Paul Deeton.

We have also produced a Busi-
ness Directory which will be sent
free of charge to our members in
early February. It will encourage
“members doing business with
members.”

If membership warrants there is
the: possibility of doing a six-
month update later in the year.

We are in the process of devel-
oping a Membership Recruitment
Project. More information on that
will be in next month’s newsletter.

We will be keeping you updated
on the Third Annual Golf Tourna-
ment to be held at Glen Meadows
Golf and Country Club on Sep-
tember 18 — mark your calendar
now!

We are also planning to make a
recommendation to the Board con-
ceming a major fundraising event
planned for the area in the spring
of 93.

If you wish to be involved with
this committee please call the
Chamber office at 656-3616. If
you are not a member of the
Chamber of Commerce, please
consider throwing the support of
your business behind us.

first step in portraying our inten-
tion to reach out and touch the
community at large.

tions will be appreciated and val-’

ued!
