The Voice of West Feliciana Business
Greetings!
The year is quickly coming to a close. The Chamber of Commerce is preparing for a new year. The 2009 Membership Drive is now in progress. Membership renewals have been sent out. The Chamber invites all businesses and individuals to join. "What can the chamber do for me" is the big question. The answer is- as much as you let us and support us. The website is a valuable advertising tool and easy to use. People who are looking for that special business that has what they need use it. Patrick Walsh with Blue Goose Media keeps it up and going and up to date. More people are familiar with the "Chamber of Commerce" for traveling, shopping, eating, contracting, and business needs than any other source of information. The Chamber newsletter informs people about what is going on in St. Francisville and West Feliciana Parish. People here at home and out of town read it weekly. The
newsletter goes out to over 650 people each week. The Chamber of Commerce office is here especially for those who don't communicate by computer. The office offers sources of information that encourages people to use chamber businesses but also gives out phone numbers and information to those who have particular needs. We have people who call the office who are relocating and want relocation packets that can help with the transition.
This past year the chamber has been very active in the community. Just to re-cap a few events, we advertise and participate with new businesses and new facility "Ribbon Cuttings". The support to the youth of the parish is important so the chamber awards three scholarships each year to students who live in the community. Funds for the scholarships is generated by another event the chamber hosts, "Swing For Scholarships" golf tournament chaired by Clay Pinson. Businesses and individuals participate in this event annually to help fund these scholarships.
2008 proved to be a very active and successful year for the chamber. The Chamber of Commerce sponsored the "Discovery Trip 2008" to Madison, MS with President Miles Higgins guiding the way. The 41 business owners, government officials, board members and interested citizens who went to "discover..decipher..design" toured a city that opened their doors for new ideas to be brought back that could be used with the "Comprehensive Plan" for our parish. The end of the year will bring an event to recognize Chamber members that work together for the parish and the town.
The chamber promises that 2009 will be more successful as businesses and individuals work together to obtain goals that will keep West Feliciana Parish an outstanding place to live and work.
The Chamber will continue working to create an environment for businesses and individuals to grow and prosper in West Feliciana. We provide leadership for the advancement of economic vitality and a strong quality of life for the community.
