April 2019 NEWS

Community Members,
March was a month of madness...the good kind of madness. We are averaging 18 visitor's a day!! These visitors vary from needing a public restroom to wanting more information on My Cousin Vinny, Trisha Yearwood or Jason Aldean. We love chatting with everyone that comes in the door and meeting new people.
The 2019 Leadership Jasper Class started in March. Their first class was focused on local government, with a tour of the courthouse, visit local with elected officials, and the afternoon spent improving their leadership skills with Koach Katlyn. The April agenda will focus on education. I am excited for this class to learn all there is to learn about OUR Community.
This month's newsletter is filled with exciting chamber updates and community events to help you grow your business. In addition, there are networking opportunities you won't want to miss!
We'd love to hear from you! Please
send us
information you would like to share with our Chamber. We welcome all ideas and recommendations. Lastly, don't forget to follow our social media accounts to stay up to date with the Jasper County happenings.
Have an AWESOME April!!
