Thank You Drive 2024

Description

This July, we are thrilled to announce our upcoming Thank You Drive, an initiative by the Chamber to express our profound appreciation to our investors. From July 22nd, we will embark on a week-long journey of gratitude, and we are calling on you – our community of proactive members and business enthusiasts – to volunteer for a cause that not only celebrates our collective achievements but also fortifies our bonds within the business community.

Why Volunteer?

“Volunteering for the Thank You Drive is not just about making B2B calls or delivering thank-you gifts; it's an unparalleled opportunity to engage directly with the backbone of our thriving economy” states our Volunteer Co-Chair, Josh Warbington, Eastman Credit Union. “Whether you are looking to build new relationships, make meaningful contacts, or simply contribute to a celebration of free enterprise, your participation will be a testament to the strength and unity of our business community.”

Your Role as a Volunteer

Volunteers will be at the forefront of our outreach efforts, tasked with making business-to-business (B2B) calls and delivering thank-you gifts to our investors. This is your chance to directly interact with key players in our local economy, share stories of resilience, and express our collective gratitude for their unwavering support.

In addition to volunteering, we are asking businesses to contribute a nice promotional item for the thank-you bags. Examples include a Picture Frame Message Magnet, USB-C Charging Cable, Stylus Metal Pen, etc. Please note that brochure placement in the thank-you bags will be restricted to companies that provide a promotional item.  Upon registration for a volunteer shift please know your company is confirming to provide 1,000 promotional items to be delivered to the chamber by July 5^th.

Volunteer Shifts

We understand the value of your time, which is why we have structured volunteering shifts to accommodate your schedule:

• Morning Shifts: Monday to Thursday, 8:30 AM to NOON
• Afternoon Shifts: Monday to Thursday, 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM

Each day we will provide a complimentary lunch for the volunteers!

Choose a shift that best fits your availability or sign up for multiple shifts to maximize your involvement in this rewarding initiative.
