The 23rd Annual New Teachers Luncheon sponsored by the Atlanta Area Chamber of Commerce is scheduled for Wednesday, August 11th, 2010 from 11:30am – 1:30pm at the Mattie Lanier Richey Center. This luncheon is held for new teachers in the Atlanta, Bloomburg, McLeod and Queen City Independent School Districts. We look to have between 50 – 55 new teachers this year.  This year’s meal sponsored by Cass County Bank will be catered by The Silver Spur Texas Grill.  We are asking all businesses in the area to bring any and all business items they would like to have placed into tote bags for all new teachers. Pens, pencils, note pads, key chains, etc are good company type logo items to put in the bags to let the teachers new to the area know what services are offered in our communities. The bags will be donated by Atlanta Athletics.
The Chamber is also asking for door prizes from local businesses to be given out to the teachers during the luncheon.
Door prizes and/or business items can be dropped off at the Chamber no later than Friday, August 6th. You may call the Chamber at 903-796-3296 and we will pick them up.
As always our ears and emails are open to your comments and suggestions.
