Leadership Perryville hosts Enterprise Day

Posted

Welcome to spring! We can’t say thank you enough to all of our Chamber volunteers! Thank you to our Board of Directors, our Ambassadors, our sponsors and our office and event volunteers. Your dedication to the Chamber and the Perryville Community is appreciated.
Leadership Perryville kicked off this past Tuesday with Enterprise Day. Thank you to organizer Melissa Hoehn and participating businesses: Bella De Marie, Body Treats, Bella Floral, United Land Title Co., Rozier Mercantile, Summers Lane, Jackson Street BrewCo, Stark Properties and Mathis, Marifian & Richter who also sponsored lunch. We all had a great day and look forward to Industry Day next month.
Prop C.O.P.S. was the topic for our March Coffee and Connections. Perryville city administrator Brent Buerck did a great job educating all who attended. Please check out the Prop C.O.P.S. Facebook page for information.
Reminder to Perry County graduating seniors, if you are applying for the Chamber’s scholarship, you still have a week left to come in and volunteer to have those hours on your application. Please call the office to set up a time. If you are a junior and want to get a head start, you can also volunteer anytime to count towards your 2022 application.
Mayfest is scheduled for May 5-8. Our theme will stay “A Salute to our Hometown Heroes.” This is also the Bicentennial year for Perry County. We encourage everyone who is participating in the parade, craft fair or events to use both these themes for decorations and themes. Feel free to decorate your businesses in these themes as well that week. When our t-shirts are available for sale we will let you know. As in the past if businesses want to support the Mayfest the week prior, we are offering $2.00 off each t-shirt in groups of 10. We encourage businesses to let their employees wear them the week of Mayfest.

We are still in need of stage and community sponsors, does your business want to participate? Please call the office and I can help you with the sponsorship that best fits your needs. Our community looks forward to Mayfest every year and we can’t wait to enjoy it with you.
Please mark your calendar for the fifth Xquisite Women’s Leadership Conference scheduled for Sept. 16 and 17 to be held at the Robinson Event Center. We are excited about our lineup of speakers. Follow our Women’s Conference Facebook page for all the information. Registration and updates coming soon.
Need a map, phone book or information for fun in Perry County or a day trip to a surrounding area? We have the information for you in the office located on the square.
If you are not a chamber member yet, remember that we have avenues to promote, network and referrals. New members can get visibility through a ribbon cutting, member to member e-mails and sponsorships. We encourage all Perry County businesses to be a member of the Chamber of Commerce. We look forward to working with you and supporting you and your business.
