Introduce A Customer, Vendor Or Friend To The Chamber
Ever had the person in front of you at the drive-thru pay for your coffee? Made you feel good, didn't it? Chances are you paid it forward, too, for the next person in line.
Would you do the same for a customer, vendor or friend in business who could benefit from being part of the Chamber, but can't afford to join?
For only $175 you can PAY IT FORWARD and make it possible for a business to enjoy the benefits of Chamber membership for a full year. We'll encourage the new member, when financially able, to PAY IT FORWARD for another deserving business. And we'll add your business name to our PAY IT FORWARD Honor Roll.
If you don't know of a business that needs help, you can make a $175 contribution to the PAY IT FORWARD FUND. We'll use the fund to award scholarships to deserving businesses so they can receive Chamber services.
To participate, click on the link below and send Chamber VP Teresa Rankin an email message indicating your wish to PAY IT FORWARD. For more information, call Teresa at 704.825.5307.

Hillbilly's BBQ team took the first-place trophy.

4th Annual Golf Tournament Another Huge Success Our tournament has quickly become recognized as one of the best in the region, and it certainly lived up to that reputation on June 18 at Pine Island Country Club. For the fourth consecutive year, our volunteer tournament director was Greg Garrison of Just Hardwoods Flooring and the Belmont Home Design Center. We can't thank him enough. Thanks also to the hard work of the 2009 tournament committee, more than two dozen volunteers and especially to Chamber VP Teresa Rankin and our "volunteer" volunteer coordinator Elizabeth Atterberry. Without our sponsors and teams, there would be no tournament. They're listed below. Please thank them.
