The Chamber is an independent nonprofit organization that represents the businesses of our community. In 2020 our chamber had to do business a little differently as so many businesses did to survive the pandemic. There were no stimulus packages given to the chamber to be able to continue doing what we do for the businesses and the community. Cut backs were made and we have so far been able to survive the storm. We rely on events like our Annual Dinner, Reverse Raffle, Turkey Trot, and other fundraisers to maintain our budget. Last year we were unable to hold a Annual Dinner, or do a Full blown Turkey Trot or Full Reverse Raffle. We had also planned an International Trip that was not able to happen due to the pandemic. We had scheduled a Golf Tournament that was not able to happen. Unfortunately the pandemic made it hard for many organizations including ours to offer scholarships. Students were the ones who suffered.
Our chamber is competing for funds in these unprecedented times. We as a chamber see the importance to invest in our future leaders and we have committed to giving $3000 worth of scholarships this year to deserving graduating seniors. This money has to come from somewhere and we are holding a RAFFLE for a item that is a Hot Commodity in this day in time due to our 2nd amendment rights being challenged at the state and federal levels. This RAFFLE meets all of the guidelines set forth by the Virginia Gaming Commission. The regulations are set forth on the RAFFLE that the person has to be 21 or over, A resident of Virginia and can pass a Firearms background check from Dances Sporting Goods. The item never meets the hands of the Chamber. Once a winner is drawn they will be given a gift card for Dances Sporting Goods( a chamber business) that has secured the purchase of the item, they will undergo all of the same background checks that is required to purchase any firearm in the Commonwealth of Virginia and the right to own a firearm given to us in the Constitution.
Back to the reason this RAFFLE is being done. Scholarships to deserving graduating seniors. The total amount raised in this RAFFLE goes to our Fund that gives out these scholarships. The process that the Senior has to go through to get the scholarship is as follows. The senior will fill out a application, and write a essay. We will schedule a interview with all applicants whether it be in person or by zoom during the pandemic. We will score the applicant based on their punctuality, professional appearance, interviewing skills, need and academics. These are vital skills that they will need when they are plunged into the workforce. When all is said and done the real winners are the deserving seniors that receive help to fund their education, books, housing, and transportation. If you are interested in just making a donation to be earmarked for scholarships, please contact John at the Colonial Heights Chamber at 804-526-5872 or you can mail in donations to P.O. Box 411 Colonial Heights VA 23834.

I, Shyamal Patel, am writing this email pleasingly to you representing Colonial Heights Pharmacy. We are a local independently owned retail pharmacy in Colonial Heights and we offer free delivery 7 days a week and free multi-dose pill packaging. We serve patients from Tri-cities and I am reaching out to you to introduce myself and let you know about the services we offer at our pharmacy.
With over 15 years of experience, we feel pride in what we have given to our community. Our team of registered pharmacists, technicians and delivery drivers strive to deliver finest service to the community, general public and institutional clients offering everyday products and services that help our clients live healthier and happier lives.
Our Multi Dose Pill Packaging has resulted in thousands of success stories in the state of PA and FL and in order to maintain this flourishing momentum we need to secure a solid foundation of support from your facility here in VA.
I would like to request a meeting with you to discuss the services that I provide and how we can serve as a helping hand to your facility.
I know that you might already have a primary pharmacy that is currently servicing your facility, but it will not hurt to invite us and see our services :). You can use us a secondary or back up pharmacy for your facility or if any patients who do not have a pharmacy set up with your primary pharmacy, we could work with them and deliver the medications at the doorstep.
Thank you for your time and looking forward to speaking with you. In the meantime, if I can provide any additional information or be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me directly on my cell phone 7327668690.
Sincerely,
--

Marketing: Over the next couple of weeks, you will start seeing ads on TV, radio, FB, emails, website and other sources that will begin advertising not only the Home show, but also Sponsors & vendors. Our Home and Garden Show Committee want to ensure that the businesses that join as a sponsor or as a vendor get maximum exposure.
Goals: Our goal for this 1st ever Home & Garden Show is to get between 2,000 - 2,500 participants May 21 & 22 . All of our vendors will gain access to this list of participants as we will have them registered before entering the venue. We are also working with VSU to put together video footage of each of our vendors and sponsors so they can be shown for next year's Home and Garden Show as well.
COVID-19: We are taking a lot of precautions to protect our sponsors, vendors, and patrons. We will follow all CDC Guidelines and will have ample sanitization stations as well as other COVID and Public Safety Stations.
Currently, we have 30+ vendors signed up and most of the major sponsorships already sold. Our goal is for 100 vendors and we would like you help if you can participate. There are still a few sponsorship opportunities for your business. Contact John Brandt (804) 526-5872 at the Colonial Heights Chamber to see what is still available.
Just a few of the things to consider:
- There are also 30 minute presentations slots available for the businesses that would like to take part in this.
- We would like for each Sponsor and Vendor to consider giving away a prize and we will be picking out the lucky customer as a group of people are standing around your booth.
- We are also scheduling an Ice Breaker event on Thursday May 20th for the Sponsors / Vendors and Colonial Heights Chamber members. More details will follow.
- We are inviting Sponsors and Vendors to the Sears Building in the Southpark Mall at 3PM on Tuesday April 6th to get a walk-thru of the site and where your booth will be located - Please join us even if you are still just considering becoming a vendor or sponsor - ask plenty of questions
- If you need to order signage, giveaway SWAG (Shirts, pens, other giveaways) or other items for this event, I would highly order them soon if you can - Josh at Off Duty Graphics (804-721-0924) is a great source for some of these items.
If you would like to become a vendor, currently the price is $650 for a 10' x 10' booth with pipe and drape, electric, a table and 2 chairs supplied by Rent-E-Quip. After April 1st, these 10' x 10' booths go up by $100 to $750. You can book your spot up until a couple weeks prior to the event if needed and we can work a payment plan if needed...
The overall goal from this event is to bring this community back together and help reconnect local businesses and local customers. The majority of the profits from the event will be donated to local nonprofit organizations that need help now.
