The Chamber staff took the idea and initial conversation of a coupon book to welcome the college students and introduce them to businesses in the City on July 21st to final approval of the 73-page professional book in only 18 business days. Speaking with our sales rep at the company printing the books, we were told that they were doubtful at the beginning that we could pull it off in the allotted time frame and that we did, was a first and caused much amazement among their staff!
It just shows what can be done with determination, commitment, a positive attutude, awesome team members, the right product and willing customers. I can't say enough about the Chamber staff who worked this project: Phil, who sold non-stop for 9 days; Will and Carole for the work they did in researching clip-art and fine tuning logos, putting them into a digital file for the printers; and to our participating businesses for accepting the short time frame and getting their information to us. One of the remarkable aspects was that there were no short tempers or obvious frustrations as we worked toward meeting the deadline - great people and an awesome project. Thanks to everyone who played any part as well as the members of the Chamber's Town & Gown Council who provided the impetus for the project.
