Community Thanksgiving Service
Amanda Henson is your Benton Area Chamber Ambassador of the Month. Amanda's job as a new member representative for Alcoa community Federal Credit Union enables her to develop new relations by assisting members with new accounts. She also looks forward to serving the chamber as an ambassador.Amanda and her husband Richard have two boys — Dakota, 13, and Derek, 7. She says, "I love time with my family, whether it is
planning an eighteen hole round of golf, going putt-putt, going to the park, or going to cheer my favorite football player for the Bryant Hornets. I love cheering on the Razorbacks, on television or in person. Lose or win, it is spending time with my family that matters.”
AMBASSADOR OF THE MONTHCongratulations, Amanda Henson!
SAM ED GIBSON2014 Chamber President
How sweet to revel in success! The First Annual Saline County Business Expo exceeded expectations. Vendor booths sold out, and more than 800 folks attended the
one-day event. Several vendors shared favorable comments about the Event Center, the Chamber's organization and promotion of the event, and more. We look forward to making the Saline County Business Expo a premier Chamber event in the coming years.Glitz and Garland is next! The early enthusiasm the vendors displayed for getting booths reserved, and the hard work of the Committee will ensure that this year’s Glitz and Garland will be the best ever. Make plans now to attend.A few tickets remain for the drawing to win a new pickup truck at Glitz and Garland. One lucky ticket holder will win a new GMC pickup truck (donated by Everett GMC Buick). Contact a Chamber board member or the Chamber office to get your ticket today. You won't find better odds for a drawing to win a new vehicle. Proceeds support the work of your Chamber and the Saline Memorial Hospital Foundation.
