TOTAL RESOURCE CAMPAIGN
2017
The annual operational campaign of The Chamber, otherwise known at the Total Resource Campaign (TRC), is an all-volunteer effort to recruit new investors, generate sponsorships and advertising for events, programs and publications offered by The Chamber. Most importantly this campaign raises awareness among investors and the community as this group of energetic volunteers hits the streets sharing the opportunities.
Find out how you and your company/organization can be involved and earn incentives that include a fun-filled trip with your peers all while creating exposure and recognition - In 2017 we will be Smooth Sailing!
VOLUNTEER TRAINING THURSDAY, AUGUST 24TH Want to join the crew? Email Beth@angletonchamber.org for additional details.
SAIL WITH US IN 2017!... You determine when and how you would like exposure and recognition for your business/organization. There are many opportunities throughout the year to sponsor, participate and advertise who you are and what you are doing. Our TRC volunteers will be contacting you in the next few months. RENEWALS If you have purchased in past campaigns you will ALWAYS have the first right to acceptance in everything you purchased. Our volunteers will contact you before the full campaign begins (late September).
NEW TO TRC Let us know you would like to see a menu of programs, events and publications and we will get a volunteer in contact with you as soon as the campaign begins (late September). “We love the TRC Campaign, it gives us the opportunity to pick and choose all in which we choose to participate to give our company the very best bang for our buck. Once the decisions are made and the contracts are signed we know we will receive the recognition we think works for our company with a payment plan that also works for us.� - Nancy Davis, Palms Funeral Home
2016 FALL GOLF TOURNAMENT Calling all golfers… The Annual Fall Golf Tournament is right around the corner and we are now taking registrations for teams and sponsorships for this well established, fun tournament. We are excited to announce that this year’s tournament will once again be hosted at The Wilderness Golf Course with HDR Engineering, Inc. as the presenting sponsor. Be sure to sign up today - registration form is included inside.
SURPRISE PATROL We try our best to connect with all of our investors - with having over 500 Investors it is some times challenging. We are so thankful to have our Ambassador Team that serves as our backbone in helping us do so.
It is our Chamber Investors who choose every year to invest into the community and into our Chamber and this is where we would like to say “Thank You” for partnering with us!

REDUCE THE BUILDING DEPT The “Cornerstone Initiative” along with the “Reduce the Building Debt” optional fee added to the annual investment invoice each year is applied 100% to the principle on the building. We have satisfied over half of the debt on the building and your contributions are helping make that happen sooner than expected. A debt free building will allow The Chamber to more effectively serve our investors on a daily basis. Thank you for your continued support!
