Dear Members:
Chamber membership is a way of having a voice and presence in the community. One person's opinion usually does not change the direction of leadership or make a great difference in supporting community programs. However, over 900 voices being heard through Chamber advocacy or combined sponsorships and support of community efforts are ways each member makes a difference in the community.
Last week a 2011 Membership Survey went out through email. Your response to this is very important and can make a difference. If you have not yet responded, please do. You may click on the following link and respond. It is very short and only takes a few minutes.
We hope your cast your vote. However, we'll never know if you do or not. We only see compiled results.
It's Time to Renew!
Chamber membership renewals are due now. Invoices went out in December. If you have not already responded to the invoice, please give it your prompt attention. Unpaid memberships will be discontinued after January 31. If you need a payment plan, please call the Chamber. We'll be glad to work with you.
  
HABERSHAM COUNTY DAY AT THE CAPITOL

Habersham County 2012 Day at the Capitol is set for Wednesday, February 15, 2012. The purpose of the trip is to promote Habersham to all Georgia legislators.

There will be a nominal fee to help defray the cost of the trip. Fees include a catered lunch. The fee to ride the bus and have lunch is $20.
