Celebrate!! August has been dedicated by the state of Arkansas as Volunteer
Recognition Month. With that in mind, sharing information about the Heber
Springs Area Chamber of Commerce's Ambassador Program is my
privilege. The success of the local special events, membership involvement,
day to day activities, and tourist recruitment rests heavily on volunteer
dedication. The Ambassador Program was first organized in 2004 with
Bentley Stracener and Etta Turner taking the leadership roles. Wow! What a
great job they did to kick off a program of an ever-growing & diverse group.
This group of goodwill representatives brings to the table limitless talents,
experiences, energy and positive attitudes to further the causes in our
community. We invite YOU to join us as an Ambassador! How to be involved
and the amount of involvement is your choice. The opportunities are
limitless: clerical, phone, meet and greet, market, decorating, event
involvement, ribbon cuttings, and countless functions and events. Recognition
of our family of volunteers is of utmost importance. Ambassador badges,
volunteer luncheon, event t-shirts, newsletter spotlight and always a sincere
and heart-felt appreciation from the heart of the chamber staff is shared
with these wonderful volunteers.
Give Ina Brown, Volunteer Coordinator, a call or come by any Monday or
Wednesday to learn more about this program. 501-362-2444 or 501-2506142: inabrown@heber-springs.com.
Best Wishes, Grace!
