*BACKPACK PARTY! Donate school supplies and pack backpacks for MCPS!


NEXT EXECS' SCHOOL SUPPLIES DRIVE

Join the NextExecs in our 2nd Annual Backpack & School Supply Drive to benefit MCPS students, grade K-12. From now through August 11th we are calling on all our GBCC members and community partners to help ensure our students are prepared for a successful school term when they return in the Fall. Some of our members last year held their own internal school supply drive and had the items delivered to our GBCC office in downtown Bethesda. Others supported the drive financially by donating money via our Chamber’s Venmo account or by sending a check payable to Greater Bethesda Chamber of Commerce. Please enter #mcpsbackpackdrive23 in the memo line. All levels of support are greatly appreciated, and we will also be calling on volunteers to fill the backpacks and make the drop offs to area schools. Last year we filled over 300 backpacks and this year our goal is to fill at least 500, can we count you to help us reach that goal? 

 

Click the button or contact the GBCC staff at

staff@greaterbethesdachamber.org for the full school supply list.  


Minimum suggested donation amount of $20.00 is requested. Click here to donate via Venmo | Greater Bethesda Chamber or by check (please denote "backpack drive" in memo). Thank you!


Please consider purchasing supplies from GBCC member company Staples, who has generously offered a discount for GBCC Members to use for the backpack drive and beyond. Register for the program HERE.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND REAL ESTATE COMMITTEES

Chamber members enjoyed two interesting and informative

presentations this past Wednesday at our

Economic Development Committee and Real Estate Committee meetings.

Thank you to Bill Tompkins of MCEDC, and Stephanie Orton Lynch of Tri Point Homes!


FAREWELL, AKRAM!

Congratulations to GBCC's Summer RISE Intern, Akram, on the completion of his program! We are grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in this important MCPS program, and are thankful to have been matched with such an intelligent, inquisitive

and hard-working intern.

We also appreciate all the GBCC members who took the time to get to know Akram during his time at GBCC.

We wish him well as he enters his senior year of high school!

We've heard from several members who have received an email selling the Chamber list. That email originates from a third party.

Unfortunately, it is not an uncommon practice that some business try to collect data from Chambers of Commerce websites and resell that information.

Please know that you all have access to all Chamber member information for free via your printed directory and our online directory.

And, please know that we never sell, barter or trade member information.

Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining"!
