Information in Regards to our Organization & COVID 19

To all Chamber members:

The Thomaston-Upson Chamber of Commerce and our Board of Directors take the health and safety of our community very seriously. We are actively monitoring the situation regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19) and are in communication with local health officials daily.

With the growing number of cases confirmed in Georgia, it is important that we be prepared and ready to deal with the situation equipped with the facts. While there is still much to learn about this virus, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Georgia Department of Health and Human Services (DPHHS) are all excellent resources that businesses and families can turn to when looking for more information on the virus.

As of this week, myself and Pam will be working remotely; therefore our office building will be closed to all visitors. In addition, all external Chamber membership events and meetings are being POSTPONED through mid-April. We are also preparing to move the May 1 Concert, as well as the May 9 Poker Float to later in the year. We will continue to assess internal operations on a weekly basis and will work to reschedule external meetings in the late summer and early fall of 2020. The bottom line, we want you to know that we are here for you, and for you to call upon us if you need something. We are only trying to do our part in “flattening the curve” and mitigate the rate at which this virus is spreading. In doing so, we will be assisting our healthcare systems, first responders and emergency medical personnel in doing their jobs consistently and effectively.

The safety of our community, membership, and staff is the top priority for the Chamber, and we will continue to monitor the ever-changing situation and be providing additional information and resources on our Chamber Facebook Page

Please do not hesitate to reach out if we can provide further resources for you during this time. Together we will get through this challenge.

Best Wishes,

Lori Smith

President

Thomaston-Upson Chamber of Commerce
