Your attendance is needed to make our upcoming programs and events even more successful than in the past. Membership dues have been set for 2008 at $100 for one to ten full time employees. We understand how tough it is for small businesses to succeed especially with the current economy and the Greater Spring Hill Area Chamber wants to help. Now businesses can join at a minimal fee and promote their business to other businesses as well as having the chamber promote their services to the community. Website banner ads are still available for your business to get increased exposure. Member cost for the top banner is $25 per month or $200 for a year. You do not even have to create the banner as Barb Cochran of Big Dogs Computer Services & Web Design is providing that service for free to the chamber. Please mark your calendars for the upcoming meeting. Officers for 2008 have been elected and are Tommy Dudley (Spring Hill Auto Lube) as Chairman, Leigh Gillig (Keller Williams – The Gillig Group) Treasurer and Lisa Beard (Appraisal Services) Secretary. If you want to become involved in the chamber and promote your business, please contact Tommy Dudley at (931)486-1983 or Lisa Beard at (931)334-6036 or just come to one of our monthly meetings and see what this chamber has to offer.
