ATTENTION FABA MEMBERS

Letter from Greater Franklin Chamber Partnership:

• We are pleased to announce a new partnership program designed to promote you - our members, and the beautiful Greater Franklin County coverage area.

• Our first project is a weekly listing of events and specials that will run Wednesday to Wednesday. You are invited to submit information by email to your Chamber or Business Association for inclusion. These will be compiled and emailed out in one document to all members each Wednesday morning.

Please follow these guidelines - you must include:

• Town (this can be identified in the business name)

• Contact name and one of the following: phone, email or web address

• Brief description (15 words or less not including town and contact info)

• The 'specials' must run for the weekly time period (remember - Wednesday to Wednesday)
   

We will not be responsible for carrying weekly specials over. You must submit every week for inclusion.

Deadline for submissions is 12 noon every Monday - no exceptions.

The compiled list will be emailed out to each chamber/Association director and emailed out to membership. Once you receive this email - print it out and post where area customers, clients and employees can read and take advantage of all you - our members - and our greater Franklin County area has to offer!

We hope you will agree this is a fantastic opportunity to share with almost 700 different businesses and organizations!
Thank you so much for taking the time to be a part of this wonderful endeavor,

Lorna D. Nichols, Executive Director -
Franklin County Chamber of Commerce

How FABA members can submit their weekly specials/events:

Email information (as described in above letter) to Lynn Schnorr, Director of FABA, at lschnorr@tds.net by Monday morning at 9am.

Lynn will forward all the info to the Franklin Chamber by noon on Monday, and the info sheet will be producted on Wednesday. On Wednesday, a copy of the finished product will be emailed so you may inform your guests, customers, co-workers, staff, etc. and maybe even post for the public.
 

Polar Blast Thank You Note

Huge thank-you’s are due to so many for the success of another annual Polar Blast event in the Stratton/Eustis area!
Thanks so much to TransCanada for supplying silent auction donations, and to Pine State/Miller Lite for their sponsorship.
Thanks to The Irregular and to all those who helped with donations . Thanks so much to our “polar bears” who made appearances at all the events ! To our local businesses who sponsored events that made the Polar Blast such a success, and to the many local volunteers who brought their talents to the event! We had everything from karaoke to cribbage tournaments. And there are a lot of people behind the scenes who pull it all together, so many individual volunteers. Thanks so much to all of you who make it happen.
It’s one of those events that a number of organizations pull together to make one great event. The Snowmobile Club provided excellent trails and organized great events, which brought in a great number of snowmobiles. The Lions Club was on hand to provide great food, and the Historical Society opened its doors, which makes for more activity for locals and visitors. Cathedral Pines Campground lit the tree to make a nice, festive atmosphere. The 7th Grade Class hosted a great Polar Breakfast, and the list goes on…
The Polar Blast is truly an event for the entire town, and there’s something for everyone. And it’s the people who make these great efforts that continue to make Stratton/Eustis such a great place for visitors!
Sincerely,
Flagstaff Area Business Association (FABA)
