And we’re back Welcome to the first edition of our newly re-vamped South Shelby Chamber newsletter. You will be receiving this in your mail the last week of each month. This will give you a chance to see the upcoming month’s events and make sure that you can attend! You will notice that the top of the first pages states that we are “on the move”and we are! This year our membership continues to grow and are working to ensure that our events only serve to enhance your membership! We’ve already had an exciting 1st Quarter and we are just gearing up for the rest of the year. In July, we will co-sponsor the 2nd Annual Shelby Shindig! Be ready for great barbeque and some awesome music! Then, later in the year, we will host our 2nd Annual Women’s Networking Luncheon! This year, we have Commediane Joy as our speaker and there will be some surprises! Fourth Quarter will bring our Shelby County Mayor’s Invitational Golf Tournament and we will conclude the year with the ever-popular Annual Diamond Awards ceremony. We’ve got some great events planned but most importantly, we want to create the opportunities for you to build those better business relationships that positively impact your business!
