Quarterly chamber breakfasts could make a difference

The next quarterly Chamber Breakfast will be held Thursday, Sept. 12, at 7:30 a.m. at Fourth Street Grill in Red Bay.

Franklin County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Cassie Medley said this quarter’s topic is “Social Media for Your Business.” The speaker will be Teri Lynne Underwood and breakfast will be served.

Chamber members who plan to attend this informative breakfast session should R.S.V.P. with the name, business and the number attending to the Chamber Office by calling 256-332-1760 or e-mailing Medley at director@franklincountychamber.org.

These quarterly breakfasts are an informative way of learning new creative ways of helping your businesses, but is also a good way to interact and network with other county business leaders.

The chamber of commerce is working hard to provide more and better opportunities for our businesses and we should be most thankful for that.

We encourage each of you to try to make these breakfasts a part of your routine, after all, it’s just one morning every three months.

That is a small sacrifice that could have lasting benefits.

Thanks to chamber director Cassie Medley and her staff, as well as the board of directors, for making these opportunities available for us.
