Chamber Chatter

The Lincolnton-Lincoln County Chamber of Commerce is busy as usual working on various projects and activities for 07. One very important project is the new website we hope to have up and running by the spring.

A special thank you to our website sponsors - Clay Turner Realty, Farmers State Bank, Homepride Properties (Lamar Wade), Lee Builders, Inc., Powell & Associates, and Spratlin Hardware and Building Supply.

We are currently working on getting their sponsor ads, while in the process of putting all the data of our community in the website database. It is a tedious and exciting experience!

Another very important list of todos is our annual calendar of events, which includes other community activities that we are eager to promote.
