The next Grainger County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors meeting will be held on July 24, 2008 at 5:30 p.m. at the Chamber Office.

Please support your local Chamber of Commerce.

The Grainger County Chamber of commerce is partnering with Town Square Graphics and its representative Julia Whipple, a resident of Knoxville, who will be in the area creating a Grainger County Commemorative Town Graphic for 2007.
The Chamber of Commerce will serve as a distribution point for this map. Chamber President David Ridenour, said "We feel that this will be a popular piece with our visitors, prospective businesses, and local citizens. This graphic will be around for years to come both as a keepsake and as a community guide."
Ridenour said the Chamber wants each business to have an opportunity to take part in the venture.
The company has contracted with Grainger Today to distribute the map once it is completed.
Anyone who has not been contacted or responded to Whipple is encouraged to call the Chamber Office at (865) 828-4222, contact Whipple at (865) 556-2157 or email, JuliaWhipple@bellsouth.net.
