February Meeting Report

President Nan Holt presided over our Feb meeting, with 25 members & guests present. After dinner Faye Shumaker introduced our speaker, Ganesh McIssac. Mr McIssac gave a very interesting talk on the Distribution Center at Yogaville. They package & distribute books to Health Food Stores all over the East Coast. They employ people from the community as well as from the Yogaville Community, itself.

Show & Tell businesses for the evening were Buckingham Furniture Repair & Restoration - Sammy & Melissa Smith and The Wood-chuck, Joe & Joyce William. Both companies provided examples of their work.

The Smith's raffled off a chair with members receiving free chances. Teresa Shannon of Dr Saxon's Office was the winner!

Mr McIssac chose the Chamber members who plan to pick up trash to be recipient of his speaker's honorarium.

Motorcycle Show

The Dillwyn Dairy Freeze and the Chamber plan to coordinate the first Motorcycle Show on Saturday, April 12 4pm - 7pm.

Watch for news in the Herald and local flyers.

2008 Guidebooks

have been mailed to most Buckingham County homes & businesses. In some instances, people who receive their mail through post offices outside of the county such as Appomattox, Farmville may not get one in their mailbox. If you do not receive one, please pick up your copy at Moss Motor Company, Inc, Dillwyn Town Hall or the Buckingham Co Library.

Revised Maps

The Buckingham Co maps, complete with corrections, will be reprinted in the very near future. There were 44 advertisers on the first map. These will have the opportunity to advertise on the 2nd edition at a discounted rate. Any Chamber member that did not advertise on the 1st map, may place an ad listing on the 2nd edition for $100.

Dues
