A Message From The President

That's a wrap: planning for the new year
|
Members:
Thank you to each of you that came out to the Plant City Pig Jam! Aside from being a whole lot of fun, Pig Jam is the largest fundraiser for the Plant City Chamber of Commerce and helps us raise funds to continue to serve you. With thousands of attendees, BBQ as far as the eye could see, and fireworks on Friday night sponsored by Poppell Insurance/Auto-Owners Insurance, we had a blast and raised a significant amount of money too. We're finalizing our numbers, but know that we sincerely appreciate your support & look forward to empowering businesses to keep building a better community.
With the close of Pig Jam comes December and the end of 2019. I sure am looking forward to 2020 and all that it will hold for our Plant City community. As we close out the year, be sure to check out the businesses participating in the annual Chamber Christmas Tree Contest - the creativity of these trees always amazes me!
If you haven't already, save the date for Thursday, February 6, 2020 for the annual Chamber Gala - you won't want to miss this Gatsby-themed banquet! There are some exciting things in store for 2020, stay up to date on it all by visiting us online at
www.plantcity.org
Make it a great December,
Christine

Beginning in January 2019, the Plant City Chamber launched a new initiative to recognize members who are involved, regularly attending meetings and events, and are truly getting the most out of their membership through their involvement. At each chamber event in 2019, the red bucket will be present - simply drop you business card in the bucket for a chance to be next month's Member of the Month! The more you attend, the more likely you are to be selected. Each month the business that is drawn from the red bucket and selected as the Member of the Month will be highlighted in the Chamber's newsletter Chamber Connections, showcased on social media, and given a sign to proudly display in the storefront or front entry of their business.
Congratulations to Universal Insurance for being selected as this month's Member of the Month!
