MESSAGE FROM YOUR MANAGING CONSULTANT.. The fall brings new initiatives and new opportunities for Chamber members. We have been asked to host another political forum for the two local offices to be contested in November. We will hear from candidates for sheriff and revenue commissioner. Be preparing any questions you’d like to ask! We’ve invited the Healthcare Authority to give an update on the hospital. We are bringing back Business After Hours! On October 14, Merchants Food Service, Central Alabama Electric Cooperative, and Lee Helms and Associates, LLC have partnered to provide food and drinks for a
Jannette Brasher President Mutual Savings Credit Union (205)-755-7786 jbrasher@mutualsavings.org
cookout at the Chamber office. If your business would like to sponsor a business after hours, please contact the Chamber. To aid in commercial development (retail), the Chamber Board voted to begin an inventory of vacant buildings throughout the County where prospective businesses may locate. You’ll be hearing more about this soon! Trick or Treat!! The retail businesses in Clanton have asked the Chamber to coordinate a trick or treat event on October 31st. Pending street repairs, traffic will be blocked on 2nd Avenue
North from Highway 31 to 5th Street and from the First Baptist Church to the Fire and Police Departments beginning at 5:30. If your business is not located in that area, contact the Chamber. We can help you with a table so that you can participate! Look for details of these events as well as opportunities for participation throughout the newsletter. These events could not take place without your help. We appreciate you! Janice Hull Hull & Russell, P.C. Chamber Consultant (205) 755-0655 janice@hullandrussell.com
