Ceremonial shovel presented to
Chamber of Commerce
Amy Rivera and Teresa Thomas of the Jacksonville - Onslow Chamber of Commerce were Guest Speakers at our May 27th meeting. They provided us with an informative presentation that included benefits of being a Chamber member. The Guild presented the Chamber of Commerce with a "ceremonial" shovel to be used at ground breaking and grand opening ceremonies.
Giving Back to the Community
BOLD gave the CCAC Guild a lot of support prior to and during the May 17th Spring Craft Fair. As a non-profit organization BOLD relies on donations and the ladies worked hard to make our first event at Riverwalk a success. Their guidance was very much appreciated.
The CCAC Guild had fundraisers that provided the opportunity to sponsor two children to participate in the summer program at Northwoods. Kids that qualify for Medicaid or Healthchoice would now have the opportunity to participate in the June 18 through August 15 Summer program.
The Guild appreciates the use of the NorthwoodsRecBuilding for their monthly meetings.
