The Wake Forest Chamber of Commerce has
mailed and e-mailed a survey to its
members, asking for their views on the
$970-million school bond that will be on
the Nov. 7 ballot.
The chamber’s government
affairs taskforce sponsored a forum on
the issue that was telecast locally on
Channel 10 and will be repeated every
Thursday at 8 p.m. You can also access
the audio by going to the events page on
the chamber’s web site or by clicking on

The Community Business Expo
2006 sponsored with The Wake Weekly will
be held Thursday, Oct. 26, from 4 to 8
p.m. at The Factory on South Main
Street. More than 1,000 people attended
last year. It is time now to register as
a sponsor and/or to reserve a booth. The
deadline is Sept. 30.
The chamber is also still
soliciting sponsors for the Chamber
Chalice awards given each month during
Business After Hours to a teacher from
the Wake Forest, Rolesville and
Wakefield schools. Each teacher receives
$200 with the award; two sponsors are
needed each month as the cost for
sponsors is $100.
Several businesses have
responded, but a sponsor for each of
these schools is needed: Forest Pines
Elementary, Franklin Academy I-II,
Franklin Academy III-IV, Jones Dairy
Elementary, Rolesville Elementary, Wake
Forest Elementary, Wakefield Elementary
and Wakefield Middle.
Call 556-1519 or e-mail to
tresa@wakeforestchamber.org if you
can be a sponsor. |
