GREATER CLEVELAND CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HAPPENINGS

Christmas in Cleveland!

Hey guys, it's about that time again!!! This is one of the events the Chamber does to give back to the community that makes all our businesses successful. Free for all and a great time for the kids to get their Christmas wishes to Santa, get their own free Santa bucks and buy their gifts for others themselves with those bucks.

The Greater Cleveland Chamber of Commerce
invites you to celebrate
Christmas in Cleveland!
Thursday, December 5th
6-8 PM
Fit for Life parking lot (Technology Drive)


Join us as Santa arrives on a fire truck to light the tree! He will be available
for the kids to tell him what they want for Christmas while parents can take
pictures. Local businesses will have booths set up for the kids as well as
live entertainment with music, dancing and fun!


This year we will be collecting school supplies to support Cleveland
Elementary School. Items needed are pencils, tissues, hand sanitizer,
looseleaf paper, crayons and markers.

 

Had so much fun shopping for the Santa's Shop items for the kids to get with their free Santa bucks, can't wait to see all their smiling faces when they "buy" gifts for mommy, daddy, brother or sister

 

Bumping up to remind y'all about Christmas in Cleveland this Thursday night. Come out with the community for this great free event!!!!

 

My kids LOVED this last year. It was fantastic and can't wait to go this year. Thanks for putting this on.

Thank you all so much for coming out for our Cleveland Township kicking off of the Christmas season tonight with your local Greater Cleveland Chamber of Commerce. It was so great to see so many of you with your children and maybe i am selfish but it does my heart so good to get to see your lil ones after they visit Santa and then come to get their gift in the Santa shop, what an awesome heartwarming way to start this blessed holiday season! Thank you to all the great sponsors, vendors, and the chamber for doing this for our community!

 

Strawberry festival

Is there a set date? Assuming the 26 of April since it's recently been that weekend in the past... Can anyone set this straight? Thanks.

 

Yes, the 26th, the date cannot be changed because JoCo has declared that Saturday every year as Strawberry Festival Day so we are allowed to close down the road to hold it. Applications are already coming in for booths and it is first come first serve so if you are interested in having a booth contact the chamber at 919-773-8448 to get your spot reserved!

GCCC Annual Golf Tournament

Registration is now available for the Chamber's annual Golf Tournament! This year it is being held at Eagle Ridge instead of Reedy Creek due to some problems Reedy Creek is having with their greens. Once again though LaPiazza will be catering the dinner For more information or registration just let me know or contact the Chamber at 919-773-8448!

 

Wasn't this a Sticky at one point? I really think it should be as I always take a look at it.

Sherry

 

Yeah it was Sherry, when i went to post had to search for it. i sent a pm to Webbie asking about it. My guess is maybe there is a limit to how many sticky are allowed and when he added the Political Forum one it knocked the Chamber one out, but that is just a guess

 

Ok, my guess was right about the Sticky situation, Webbie will make it a Sticky again after all the drama from the political pit settles down:hurray:

 

Awesome. Thanks for checking with Webbie.
