That’s where my eblasts will be stored and eventually, I’ll just send the link in my eblasts with teaser headlines. As a result of the member satisfaction survey done by the Membership Committee, several people said my eblasts were too long, so I wanted to make some changes.
All items being donated for the silent auction need to be here at the Chamber by 9:00 a.m. tomorrow in order to be listed in the program. We’re also doing the table assignments so if you want to sit with specific people at specific tables, we need to know that by tomorrow too please.
We’re going to have a fun wine raffle at the event – can you donate a bottle of wine (preferably $20 value). If so, please drop it off at the Chamber.
It really helps us out if you can drop all your offerings off instead of asking us to pick up items. We just have so much to do this week that we’re under the gun to get it all done! Thank goodness for my wonderful staff, Dorothy, Cindy and Marci AND Sharon Showalter, our fabulous volunteer! And everyone else who is pitching in!
We do need help this week and on Saturday – decorating and setting up the silent auction tables so if you have time, call or email and let us know. Thank you!
