Help make Georgia legislators aware of Habersham County! 

The Habersham County Chamber of Commerce is developing the county's fifth "Habersham County Day at the Capitol" for Wednesday, February 18, 2015. Working with Senator John Wilkinson and Representatives Terry Rogers and Dan Gasaway, the purpose of the trip is for economic development awareness. A bus will leave the Cornelia Depot at 
7:00 a.m. and, hopefully, arrive at the capitol about 9:00 a.m. The group should be back in 
Habersham by 4:00 p.m. or before.

A few seats are still available on the bus. 
A fee of $30 will cover riding the bus and having 
lunch with the group at the capitol. Those who drive and join the group at the capitol will need to pay 
the Chamber $20 for lunch. 
 All attendees need to register with the Chamber.
