Quote of the Week:
"
Winning and losing are both very temporary things. Having done one or the other, you move ahead. Gloating over a victory or sulking over a loss is a good way to stand still."

Two state championships, thirty consecutive wins and a national most valuable coach award are certainly great achievements and we at the Chamber join the voices of our community in congratulating the Appomattox County High School Raiders Football Team. As the game was ending on Saturday, perhaps their greatest achievement was evident - the crowd in the stands began to chant, but instead of the more common "We're Number One", the chant of "We ARE One" rang out, representing not only the team but the community behind them. Thank you, Coach Smith, for leading this effort. For a more eloquent report, read the article in the Dec 13 edition of the News an Advance by Ben Cates.
Our community needs to extend the "Power of One" beyond the football team. As you enter 2017, plan to get involved in one or more of the following:
5K Fun Run planned for the spring -- contact Whitney Napier.
Miss Appomattox Pageant tentatively scheduled for June 17 -- contact Shirley Wheeler.
Shop Local Campaign - contact Gerri Granato.
Appomattox Cheerz -- contact John Redding.
Signage promoting downtown - contact John Redding.
LoveWorks sign - contact Anne Dixon.
Tourism Advisory Committee - contact Ken Arpino or Dana Mayberry.

Chamber's Online Calendar of Events
The Chamber wants to remind everyone who is planning an "open to the public" event for next year to provide the event information to this office so it can get uploaded to the Chamber's website calendar. This online calendar will help the community (and visitors) to see a full list of events as they plan their activities. The goal of the online calendar is to prevent competing events so that every event is a success. So please submit your event information to the Chamber at least 2 weeks in advance of the event so it can be uploaded to the calendar. Make sure your email includes "Calendar Event Information" in the Subject Line. Please note that ALL event submissions for the NewsBlast are automatically added to the online calendar.
