Chamber is Hard at Work to Reach Membership Campaign Victory


The Augusta Metro Chamber of Commerce will celebrate the end of its membership campaign on November 2 with a victory celebration at the Imperial Theatre downtown from 5:30 - 8:00 p.m. Join us as we reach the end of our Yellow Brick Road to our $250,000 pot of gold. Twenty-three corporate teams representing businesses from all over the CSRA are participating in the campaign, led by Campaign Chairman Patrick G. Blanchard, CEO of First Bank of Augusta. Cash incentives and weekly door prizes are being offered to participants throughout the campaign, which began August 3 with a kickoff celebration at the Boathouse. This Total Resource Development Campaign will assist the Chamber in financing new and existing programs, projects and publications to lead the Chamber into the 21st Century. "We couldn't be more pleased with where the campaign stands today," said Chamber President Jim West. "When our Chamber members set their minds on something, there's no stopping them!" A special thanks to all participants whose hard work is making this campaign a success.
