Thank you to everyone who came out and enjoyed the
24th Annual Chamber Experience

-watering food displays, live entertainment by Tonic Blue, the popular wine grab, the Big Green Egg raffle, and the amazing silent and live auctions.
Chamber Experience is the Chamber's largest fundraiser, and we hope you had as much fun as we did!

Small Business is BIG Business in Glynn County. 2018 National Small Business Week was April 29 - May 5, and we challenged Chamber members to recognize their favorite local small business on social media with the hashtag #glynncountysmallbusiness.
We couldn't help but notice The Island Directory's "shout out" to Maggie Dutton State Farm (right). Keep the recognition coming, and you could find your social media post re-posted in next month's Mid-Month MemberNet. Don't forget to use #glynncountysmallbusiness!
