SUPPORT OUR BUSINESSES
The Chamber stays busy with numerous projects to help promote Henry County and its businesses. It also has to do a few fundraisers to be certain Henry County can continue to support a chamber. Sending out dues’ bills, doing the Briefing, starting the 2009 Leadership Henry County class, working on future projects such as Day at the Races and Make a Difference Day certainly makes the days and weeks go quickly.
Christmas will be here before we know it, and
our businesses are gearing up for the holiday season. Don’t for get to
Henry County
First when considering your shopping list. You will be amazed at what you can
buy right here at home. The Extension office will sponsor the Holiday Bazaar on
November 8 from 9-4 at the 4-H Building at the Fairgrounds. You can certainly
fill a lot of Christmas wishes with the beautiful items offered by our Arts and
Craft Guild. They will have their holiday items ready and who would not like a
handmade gift picked especially for them? Food will be provided by the Henry
County Senior Citizens.
The Chamber will be there as well with their Historic Images of Henry County and their cookbook Sharing Henry County’s Heritage. These make marvelous gifts especially for those who seem to have everything. Check out our display at the Henry County Public Library done by Board member Beverly Potter. Please remember to shop at home as much as you can this holiday season, for if the residents do not support our businesses, we may not have any businesses to support.
CAR SHOW UPDATE
If you did not make it out to Harry Hill Park for our annual car show, you missed a lot of beautiful vehicles. Thank you to all of our supporters who helped, brought cakes for the cakewalk, sponsored trophies or donated doorprizes and goody bag items. Without your help, we could not have been host to 95 cars and numerous spectators. It was very successful!

NEW PLANS FOR 2009 This next year (August 22) we have found a sponsor to do t-shirts for the car show participants. We plan to have X-treme Graphics at Pleasureville design shirts with all the sponsors’ names on the back and with the presenting sponsors on the front. We would really like to get the trophy sponsors lined up early. Enclosed in the Briefing is a reservation sheet to be certain you are included. We will again have the specialty trophies as well as the top 50. No one will be billed until next summer close to time for the show, but we would like to know if you want to be included. Please send in your sheet ASAP so you can get what you want as it is first come, first served again this year. We will try to get shirts for the sponsors as well, but we will have to see how the response goes. |
MAKE A DIFFERENCE DAY
Sometimes an event comes along that can mean a lot to our communities. A great way to promote UNITY in our Community is by taking part in Make a Difference Day on Oct. 25 (PDF flyer) at the new Henry County Park. A copy of the information about this day is included in the Briefing. The Chamber will be doing a drawing for a Henry County basket. If you have an item to donate to this, it would be most appreciated. Your business card will be included with your item so you will get full credit for your donation and perhaps some new business. Please let Pat know (845-0806) that you can donate an item and she will make arrangements to get it by Oct. 17. This can be a wonderful day for the entire county, and the playground for ALL children will be a great memorial to Michael Brent who faced his adversity with such good spirit.

WHY BE A MEMBER OF THE CHAMBER? The Board of Directors discussed getting more information out as to why businesses, churches, individuals or non-profits should belong to the Chamber. The Chamber is the main organization that works for business and progress in the community. Over the past 12 years, the Chamber has promoted an Economic Development Council, started the (check) Henry County First program, the gift certificate program which is being used as incentives for various businesses, First Dollar certificate to new businesses who come to our communities, works with our tourism to see that brochures and ads to promote the county are done, gives out business information to callers to the Chamber (but you have to be a member to get this benefit), helps the Henry County Local with the This is Henry County relocation guide and gives members a 15% discount on their ads, and promotes Pride and Progress in Henry County to everyone who inquires about our beautiful county. Please check your mail and if your due’s bill has arrived, please do not forget to send in your check. It is a tax deductible business expense. In order to be able to continue the work being done, it is essential that members stay members. |
