WakeMed is joining with the Wake Forest
Chamber of Commerce to sponsor Meet in
the Street on May 6, but there is still
opportunity for local individuals and
businesses to sponsor parts of the arts
and crafts festival.
The deadline is Friday,
March 31, for those sponsors, which
include the $1,000 children’s village
sponsor, the $1,000 food village
sponsor, the $500 blue ribbon sponsor,
the $250 red ribbon sponsor and $50-$100
festival friend. The businesses who
sponsor the villages or the blue ribbon
will be permitted booth space for them
to promote their businesses.

It is time to select five
new chamber board members. Ballots will
be mailed to chamber members later this
month. The candidates are Jeff Ammons,
The Factory and Ammons Building
Corporation; Jim Bell, Bobbitt Design
Build; JoAnn Feligno, Coaching
Perspective; Nancy Goodman, Campbell Oil
& Gas Company; and Don Stroud,
Hartsfield & Nash.

The chamber will host a
lunch honoring small businesses on
Tuesday, April 15, at The Factory at
noon. Each small business may send two
representatives to the free event, but
you are asked to respond by April 20 by
calling 556-1519 or e-mailing to
Darren@wakeforestchamber.org.
Small businesses can also
apply to be one of five sponsors. For
$200, you can have a display at the
luncheon, give a one-minute
presentation, have two reserved seats
and receive recognition in the
newsletter. Talk to Darren O’Conner
about this opportunity. |
