Greetings - Sept. 30, 2008
The Voice of West Feliciana Business
Greetings!
The Chamber office is staying quite busy these days. Fully recovered from all the hurricane action, the beautiful weather has brought everyone refreshed and ready for the fall with numerous calls about events going on in the parish, those taking advantage of the weather are ready to get out and "St. Francisville" is on their list. Apparently weddings are planned for our area because there have been calls about businesses that can cater all the needs of the special event to" what the guests can do while visiting" and "where can we eat". The chamber membership list is by the phone to answer the calls.
For those who have forgotten, the St. Francisville Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the "Discovery Trip 2008" to Madison MS on October 22 & 23, 2008. The applications for this trip are available at the chamber office. You can call me at 225-635-6717 and I will be glad to send you an application via e-mail. Deadline for applications is October 6th. The goal of this endeavor is to bring together community leaders and interested residents to learn from the successes, ideas, and planning Madison has undergone. We know positive results will be achieved from this trip so the successful growth of West Feliciana will benefit. Spaces are limited so call today!
Along with all the activity, on November 10, 2008, the annual "Swing for Scholarships" Golf Tournament will be held at The Bluffs. All proceeds from this event go into the Scholarship Fund. The Chamber of Commerce awards three scholarships to deserving students every year. Team applications are now available for this event. Please get your team together and call the chamber office for an application to participate in this worthwhile event for our youth.
Sometimes we feel like we ask too much, so this past Sunday, representing the Greater St. Francisville Chamber of Commerce, Al and I assisted the Red Cross with "Rockin out the Hurricanes" event at Walk-ons in Baton Rouge. Bands played and all participants had a good time. In four short hours, we raised over $1700 for the emergency/disaster fund for the Red Cross. I bring back a warm "Thank you" from Kendall Hebert and Pam Chenevert for the participation.
September is just about gone and October starts the festival and holiday season and St. Francisville is "back and as beautiful as ever". Have a great week!
