Members “Hit the Bricks” for Chamber Day
The Wills Point Chamber “Hit the Bricks” for the Chamber Day 2015 was Sept.16.
Directors and volunteers spent the day visiting with local merchants, sharing information with them about Chamber programs and fall activities.
There were four teams led by Bobbi Byford – TVEC, Buck Van Trease – Van Zandt Animal Care Center, Sandra Miller – Brookshire’s and Byron Wright – Chapel of the Lake.
Big Tex, represented by John Terrell, was recognized and presented with their membership plaque by Sherry Scott-Moore – Century 21 and Royce Pollard – My Credit Union.
Input from the businesses will be compiled used to help move forward with a business plan that is designed around the needs of local businesses.
Despite the best efforts of the teams, there were businesses who did not receive a visit so there will be a second day set aside to continue the work of "touching each and every local business."
