Carroll addressed the four priorities Gov. Beverly Perdue has set for the state. Those priorities include: 1) Keeping communities safe by addressing the way the state manages parole/probation and safety in the schools; 2) setting government straight by tightening its financial belt; 3) emphasizing jobs and the economy in the midst of the worldwide recession; and 4) reducing the student dropout rates. Carroll emphasized the fact that Perdue is the first governor to have actual classroom teaching experience and that the experience gives her a unique ability to identify with local teachers. Carroll said that the evening’s events had given him a shot in the arm and thanked the audience for its commitment to helping the local community. The 2008 Citizen of the Year, Bennett H. Perry Jr., presented the 2009 Citizen of the Year Award to Daily Dispatch publisher James Edwards. Edwards is a Henderson and Vance County native who is deeply involved with numerous non-profit organizations in the community. Perry said of the 2009 winner: “A very humble person, this person does not believe he has done anything out of the ordinary. He is simply a citizen trying to be a good neighbor and friend.” When accepting his award, Edwards said: PLEASE SEE BANQUET, PAGE 4

In addition, the committee will promote, expand and support Vance County networking through face-to-face meetings, local networking groups and events, as well as electronic media and social networking vehicles as a membership benefit as well as a membership recruitment tool. The committee will also continue to promote the Member-to-Member Discount Program and Member Spotlight Program.

Government and Public Affairs Committee The Government and Public Affairs Committee will be the pro-active advocate of the business community at the city, county, state and national levels, to further enhance our communication and voice with our elected governmental and law enforcement officials.

The committee will promote the importance of the Leadership Vance Program and encourage community involvement after graduation; partner with local government by attending meetings of the city and county to remain informed; and continue business/government partnership forums on a regular basis to maintain a dialogue on key issues affecting the city, county, community and all law enforcement entities.

Marketing The Marketing Committee works to increase the visibility of the Chamber and its member businesses to promote its mission and to enhance the Chamber’s

role of being the hub of the business community. Specific objectives include promoting and maintaining the Chamber Web site to be real-time and user friendly, and introducing an e-mail newsletter for all members and organizations which have the capability to receive it electronically, with the goal of limiting mailings to those who opt for one by August 2010. The committee will continue the Chamber presence and promotion of members on local and regional radio and continue to be the point of contact to provide newcomer information to anyone wishing to relocate to the county. The committee will also continue to promote member businesses through six “Focus� newsletters and four “Business Outlook� tabloids during the year.

Vance County Public School Foundation offers unique giving opportunities Since 1989, the Vance County Public School Foundation has given support to Vance County Schools through financial assistance with school system activities, funding of teacher workshops, and school grants for special projects. The Foundation’s current focus on the recruitment and retention of teachers is comprised of monetary awards for the annual Teacher of the Year and Principal of the Year awards in addition to teachers who obtain National Board Certification. Additional

foundation programs, such as an annual teacher mini-grant competition and cosponsorship of the Teacher Executive Institute with the Henderson-Vance County Chamber of Commerce, also promote this focus. Over the years, the Vance County Public School Foundation has relied on contributions from individuals and businesses to fund its programs. One of the most popular ways to make a contribution to the foundation is through the In Memory of/In Honor of Program. It’s easy to make gifts to the

program, and all gifts are tax-deductible. The program provides an excellent way to honor the memory of someone or honor someone on a special occasion. When a gift is made as a memorial in memory of someone, that person’s name will be posted on a permanent roster on the “In Loving Memory� link of the foundation’s Web site at www.vcs.k12.nc.us/vcpsf. Also, the person or persons making the donation will receive a letter from the foundation announcing the memorial gift.

Gifts made to honor someone on a special occasion will be posted on the “In Honor� link of the foundation’s Web site noted above. The honoree will receive a letter of notification from the foundation announcing the gift that has been made in his/her honor. Contributions made to the Vance County Public School Foundation can be for any amount and, as stated above, are taxdeductible.

Henderson Community Appearance Chamber increases efforts to go green Commission and Vance Co. Appearance Commission seek assistance The Henderson Community Appearance Commission and the Vance County Appearance Commission are joining together again this year to plan a Spring Litter Sweep Cleanup Day for Henderson and Vance County on April 24. The commissions are seeking individuals, businesses and organizations to be a part of this community effort! “The cleanup day is an ideal way for individuals, businesses and organizations to get involved in improving the appearance of our community and making a real difference in a day’s time,” said Jane Rush, co-Chairperson of the Henderson Community Appearance Commission.

During the designated day, groups will come together to help clean up trash and debris from areas they designate as needing attention or in areas the appearance commissions have identified for cleanup in Henderson and the surrounding communities in the county. The day offers a great way for church groups, especially youth groups, to clean up along streets or roads in the neighborhoods surrounding their churches or in any another area. Businesses, school groups, civic organizations and community watch groups can do the same! For more information on the effort, contact Jane Rush at (252) 492-2127, ext. 2100.

The Henderson-Vance County Chamber of Commerce is stepping up its efforts to go green. Because the Chamber represents the interests of a diverse array of businesses in its membership, the organization felt that setting an example of better environmental responsibility should be a priority. As a result of those efforts, the Chamber began offering the “Focus” newsletter to its members in electronic form last year. Over 115 members have opted to receive the electronic version instead of the mailed version, allowing the Chamber staff to save printing costs, postage and real-time labor costs. The Chamber’s Marketing Committee has set a goal of August to convert as many members as possible to only the electronic version of the “Focus” newsletter. In order to receive a mailed copy of the newsletter, businesses must notify the Chamber no later than Aug. 1 either by phone at (252) 438-8414 or by e-mail at info@ hendersonvance.org.

In addition, invitations to Business After Hours sponsored by Chamber members will be sent in most cases via e-mail only. This will allow the Chamber to offer this service to sponsoring members for free instead of charging a $350 optional fee per event if the sponsor desires a mailing. Because of these and other changes to come, it is extremely important that all Chamber member information, including e-mail addresses, be current and upto-date. The Chamber staff asks that members make the Chamber a priority when updating any changes in contact information for their companies. The Chamber’s Web site continues to increase in the number of hits to its online membership directory, so failure to notify the Chamber of new contact information could result in a loss of business for Chamber members. To update information, contact the Chamber staff at info@hendersonvance. org or at (252) 438-8414.
