CHAMBER CHAT

Vicksburg-Warren County Chamber of Commerce

March 2015

Directors Message

Dear Chamber Members,

Thank you for your membership renewals and for the various s ponsorship's you have provided so far this year! We are working toward helping our members decrease business cost by bringing you a cost effective opportunity. Join us on March 18 for our next monthly Chamber luncheon. Come learn about Entergy Mississippi's Entergy Solutions for Business Program, which offers financial incentives and technical assistance to help non-residential electric customers replace old and inefficient equipment and systems with energy-efficient technologies. Let's just say, after spending time with Wayne Ammons we will be leading the way by changing the lighting in our Chamber Board room with energy efficient LED bulbs while saving around $800 worth of lighting purchases.

Hope you will plan to attend this month's Chamber luncheon to learn more! Our goal is to make your Chamber of Commerce membership a "win-win" opportunity for you!

*Please note the luncheon location change*

Regards,

Jane L. Flowers
