Everyone enjoyed Damon's ribs and shrimp, live entertainment and over 15 door prizes. Phil Pate and his staff gave tours of their new headquarters and are planning another After-Hours this fall. March found our members at the World-Gym in Windy Hill thinking about those New Years' resolutions to exercise and be healthier. And when you host an event people who otherwise may not know about your services will find out when they come. These events are designed to keep our members informed and help them build their businesses.
Attendance is always good and no one goes away disappointed.
When Betty Mauney joined the staff of the North Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce a year ago as an information specialist she knew she would be busy, but how busy she would be came as a surprise With hundreds of phone calls, dozens of e-mail inquiries and close to 100 visitors in our welcome center daily, Mauney's current position of information services coordinator is a busy one. According to Mauney, the people who come to our visitors' center enjoy the personal touch and one on one help, which she makes sure everyone gets. In addition, Mauney answers all e-mail inquiries and helps callers track down that special place they stayed five years ago, with the name they can't remember. Helping inquiring visitors also keeps Mauney busy making sure members' brochures are stocked, frequently requested information is available and relocation requests are handled. She also keeps up with available accommodations, keeps information about member services updated and keeps local events posted and information available to visitors.
