The butcher, the baker, the funky jewelry-maker… these are the people in your neighborhood. In your neighborhood. In your neigh…bor…hood. Do you have a favorite store to, say, shop for shoes? Has your hairstylist been with you from Mohawks to Mullets to today’s coiffed look? Or in my case, through every color in the rainbow? Are you inspired by a boss, a colleague or a volunteer in the community? Every day, we encounter fellow chamber members going above and beyond the call of duty. Whether it is the friendly associate at a neighborhood bank or a business leader making a difference in our community, there are many
people to thank for strengthening Bedford County. So sharpen that pencil or fire up the iPad and nominate your favorites today for one of our 2010 Chamber of Commerce awards, which will be presented at the Annual Dinner, themed “Giving Thanks”, on November 18th. You can nominate a
person, organization or business (including your own) in one of several categories or - new to 2010 - in a general awards category for our judges to consider. The nomination forms can be found on the Bedford County Chamber of Commerce website or by calling the Chamber at 623.2233.
Don’t forget that there is still plenty of summer fun to be enjoyed as well! Following our sold-out annual Golf Tournament, we’ll keep the ball rolling when The Chamber Foundation hits the road August 1st for the Poker Run: Ride for Education. On August 15th, you can enjoy “An Afternoon at the Races”, featuring the Tastes of Bedford County in our newest FUNdraiser at the Bedford Elks Country Club.
In the midst of all of that activity, the Chamber is also looking ahead to 2011. Planning and advertising sales for our new member directory and community image book are beginning. This beautiful publication is our signature print marketing piece every year, and an opportunity to showcase your business or organization to fellow members, new residents and the Bedford County community.
So enjoy your summer and be sure to include your Chamber community in your plans!
