Words From The Chamber President – Jim Binns
 

If you asked fifty people to explain the role of the Sabine County Chamber of Commerce you would probably get fifty different answers.  The truth is, the Chamber has many different functions but I think the three most important are –

1. Doing everything possible to promote business development
2. Acting as a liaison in bringing good communication throughout not only our local business community but also with organizations throughout the county, and
3. Helping to provide a positive economic growth through Tourism and Retirement.

Today’s issues offer many challenges, but I assure you that we also have many great opportunities.  Our Board of Directors realize that the community has high expectations of our actions and we want to do everything possible to meet those expectations.

 

Folks looking for a great place to visit or retire will fall in love with our majestic pine forests, small town atmosphere and moderate climate.  Beautiful Toledo Bend Lake that joins Texas and Louisiana offers 1200 miles of shoreline and some of the best fishing in the nation.  Add to this the opportunity for boating, skiing, birding, camping, visiting sites rich in history and you have something really special!

 

Drop by and visit with the folks at the Chamber because they welcome any ideas that you may have.  The Board has its monthly meeting at the Chamber office on the second Tuesday of each month at 5:30pm and it is open to the public.  Call the Chamber office for more information (409-787-2732).

 

I would urge everyone to participate and help your Chamber grow.
