The Greater Valley Area Chamber of Commerce is planning a First Responders Breakfast in May.
The event will be the first of its kind in the Greater Valley Area and we would love the opportunity to work with our Chamber members to make this event a huge success. The Greater Valley Area has determined there are roughly 1,500 First Responders throughout our service area. Invitations were mailed out at the end of March. We are currently awaiting them to RSVP to determine how many of the roughly 1,500 responders will be able to attend this event.
The Greater Valley Area includes Chambers County, Alabama, Troup County, Georgia, and Harris County Georgia. We will extend invitations to our local municipalities including Police, Fire, and EMS, volunteer Fire and EMS, Sheriffs and Deputies, Alabama State Troopers, Coroner, U.S. Army Corp. of Engineers, EMA/911, military, EAMC-Lanier, Life Flight, and more!
The Chamber is working with local area restaurants to provide food for this event. If you are interested in being a sponsor you may click the link below and select the level of sponsorship for your organization.
The Chamber has our next monthly seminar for the month of April on April 20th. Please join us as we learn how to Build Our Marketing Toolkit with our speaker Mike Coleman from Constant Contact. Please register online below at the link provided.
Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to the coming months.
