Message from the Chairman
by Billy Thompson, All-Star Movers

On March 30, VTRCC kicked off our Annual Membership Drive at Gordon Biersh Brewery. This event, as well as the April 25 “Sip & Sample” Mixer at Meadowlark Gardens, is sponsored by Olympia West Mortgage and JDR Title. The Sip & Sample is the culmination and celebration of what will be a very successful membership drive.

As a Chamber, we need to sustain growth to continue providing community activities, networking, marketing, support, education and political representation for our membership. Under the leadership of Jim DiModica (APT Impact), we have built competitive teams and set lofty goals to insure that this will be a beneficial and fun campaign. Members who sponsor new members will be eligible for prizes and will be recognized at the Sip & Sample. New members receive three months of free membership. This fee is NOT a contribution, but an investment for your business success.

This investment will give you exposure in promoting your business, the best business networking opportunities and opportunities for involvement in a variety of committees. I’ve made a list of vendors and friends who are not members. I will be calling them to share how we can help them become a part of VTRCC and enhance their businesses!
