Spring Cleaning on the Mind?
Cleaning off those bookshelves and clearing out closets? Did you find new or gently used children's books you no longer need? If so, donate them! GSSCC's Young Professionals Network is asking all members to support its book drive now through the end of April to benefit CCI Health & Wellness Services. CCI provides free books for all children to take home, each time they come to see the doctor. Help stock CCI's reading corner with books by collecting new or gently used books at your businesses all month long, or dropping them off at 8630 Fenton Street, Suite 1204.

GSSCC members are family. We promote and celebrate each other's success. We share problems and provide solutions. We always offer support, even if we do not always agree. And we are committed to the well-being of our extended family members: Greater Silver Spring's non-profit organizations, residents, visitors and customers, for whom we are grateful.
At its annual Awards & Installation Dinner, GSSCC will recognize some of the member organizations the personify the idea that Chamber members are committed to supporting each other and the community. We will inaugurate our "Circle of Stars," for-profit companies that personify excellence in corporate social responsibility through their efforts to make Silver Spring a better place to live, work, and run a business, specifically through service to the community during the past year in support of non-profit/community organizations or causes. We will also recognize the Young Professional who has demonstrated exceptional leadership and outstanding contribution to the chamber during the past year.
GSSCC is seeking nominations for both these award groups. Click here to nominate a member to be inducted into the GSSCC "Circle of Stars." Click here to nominate a Young Professional for the "Trail Blazer" award.
