SFCC Chair

The days are getting longer, the weather warmer and summer isn't far behind! As we head into the the middle of the second quarter of the year, it is time to evaluate and adjust. Those goals you set for your business just a few short months ago, how are you progressing? Are you inching forward or moving ahead with leaps and bounds? Is it time to adjust a bit or even change course? Only you know what your business needs at any given time.

Here at the Chamber, we strive to assist where we can with those goals. We often hear the main reason business owners join the Chamber is to connect with fellow business owners. The opportunity to network and share your business is invaluable. Are you taking full advantage of all the Chamber has to offer? We plan various networking and educational opportunities both online and in-person. We pick various days and evenings of the week. We know how busy you are and we make every effort to accommodate.

We want our members to grow their networks and we try to facilitate those connections. We need you to support our mission. The ROI is there for the taking. What better way to get started with your Chamber ROI than at our annual meeting and fundraiser coming on May 19? It is our largest and most important event of the year! The Back to Business Super S.T.I.R and fundraiser promises to be a productive and memorable evening.

Join fellow business owners and Chamber members on the back deck of the Paradise Springs Winery in Clifton for dinner catered by the Trattoria Villagio, Back to the Future Trivia, a Silent Auction and Raffle, and a real DeLorean! Funds raised during the evening will go to support the upkeep of the Lorton Clock Tower as well as assist the Chamber in continuing our engagement and positive impact in the local Fairfax community. 

We still have room on the Sponsor Hoverboard and are accepting donations for our Silent Auction. Purchase your ticket today and get involved with making the ROI on your Chamber membership happen for your business.

The SFCC at the

Lorton Spring Fling!

 

We had a great time meeting members of the local community who stopped by our booth for a complimentary bottle of water at the Lorton Spring Fling.

Kudos to the South County PTSO and the Craft Show Committee who pulled off a great family event and Chamber member Potomac Music who stepped up to sponsor!
