Thomas Brothers Oil & Propane Donates Computer to County Outreach Ministry

Earlier this year Thomas Brothers Oil & Propane shared with the Chamber that their ownership was interested in helping out in the Caswell community and wondered what groups might need assistance.

Not long afterwards, County Outreach Ministry mentioned they did not have a computer for their organization and needed one.

The Chamber is here to connect folks in situations like this and was happy to be involved in connecting the dots for a win-win for all.

What a great breakfast tour at the Connecting Caswell meeting Tuesday! Thank you to Distinguished Pistol, Bojangles and the Caswell Business Community for supporting the event. Special thanks to the Caswell Economic Development team for the great photos!

Ignite the Spark that Lives Within You...

Mike and Tammy Miller have always wanted to be their own boss. Their new smoothie shop is located on Highway 86 between two other Chamber members, the Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant and Sista’s Touch Salon. They were officially welcomed to the community on Saturday, August 15 at their Ribbon Cutting ceremony at their Grand Opening. That Saturday, the shop saw a steady stream of patrons. Many of the visitors were familiar with their offerings as they had visited Shamrock Nutrition in Mebane and others were there to indulge in the tasty cool offerings. The staff all wore neon colored t-shirts with the positive message: Ignite the Spark from Within’ on them and the atmosphere although socially distanced with masks during COVID was quite festive.

Susan Miller, is Mike and Tammy’s ‘coach’ in the business and is supporting them as they get their new enterprise up and running. The shop offers a club-like atmosphere that is upbeat and positive. When determining where to locate, the couple chose Caswell County. Read More Here

Earlier this year the Caswell County Partnership for Children (CCPFC) issued a Request for Proposal for a marketing and branding project. The Caswell County Chamber of Commerce submitted a proposal competing with other marketing providers in the region. The Chamber is honored to have been selected for the work and has completed the new web site design portion of the project. Additional components of the project will be completed soon. It is great to partner with our members! Thank you, CCPFC!!!
