A note from Highlands Golf Park:

Hi Greene Co. Chamber Member's! 
We are very excited to "KICK" off the summer with a great Social Distance Chamber Celebration!  A FREE event for chamber members to have some FUN on Pirate Pete's Mini Golf or practice their SWINGS on the Driving Range. There will also be delicious beer provided by Octonia Stone Brew Works & the GCOC will be providing pre-packaged goodies to keep with the Social Distancing.  

We look forward to seeing EVERYONE and having a great time reuniting!


Cooperative Radio Marketing Promotion Available 

 

The Greene County Chamber of Commerce (“Chamber”) is pleased to announce that with generous support from the Greene Economic Development Authority (EDA) a cooperative radio marketing program is being continued for all businesses in Greene County.  This program will run from July 2020 through June 2021.  The Chamber Board’s goal for this program is to increase the awareness in Central Virginia of the wonderful goods and services available in Greene County.

 

The spots are managed by Susan Terwilleger at the Charlottesville Radio Group.   More than 140 ads will run each month, including primes and bonus times on 6 local radio stations to include Cville Country 92.7, The Corner 106.1, ESPN 102.9, Z 95.1, Iconic Rock 97.5 and News Radio 98.9.  4 businesses per month will be highlighted with their 37-40 word ad with one other business that will feature an openingand closing highlighting Greene County, specific events throughout the year in Greene (example Parade of Lights, Clay Festival, 4th of July) as well as highlighting various business segments in Greene.  

 

Because of the generous support of the EDA, any business that is NOT a Chamber member can participate in the program for a discounted rate. However, if a business is a Chamber member at the time they sign up for the Program, the Chamber will subsidize an additional amount to the already offered discount for Greene County Chamber fullmembers in good standing. Please note, this opportunity is limited only to businesses who are located in Greene County or are full members in good standing of the Greene Chamber of Commerce.  

 

Based on previous experience with this program and the current situation, we know there will be a high demand for the ad.  Businesses will be limited to no more than 2 months at a time and if there are multiple requests for certain months, preference will be given to businesses who have not already participated in the last year.

 

If you and your business are interested in participating any time between now and June 30, 2021, please contact Susan Terwilleger directly at sterwilleger@charlottesvilleradiogroup.com, 434-220-2322.  She will manage the ads with all payments coming to the Chamber.
