Mary Ann Bell and Amy Lott from Coweta-Fayette EMC, our TRC Gold Sponsor

This week’s TRC Lunch & Learn was all about Chamber sponsorship opportunities.  It was a great opportunity for the group to learn more about the very broad range of opportunities that the Chamber offers to our members.  There are sponsorships to accomodate every budget – small or large.  Being part of the Chamber, participating in events and taking advantage of marketing opportunities are some of the best things you can do for your business.  Many thanks to our great TRC volunteers who are promoting the Chamber out in the community!  Also thanks to Holiday Inn Express and Broadway Diner for making this Lunch & Learn a great experience.  PHOTOS
