The Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce will continue a tradition begun last year as it holds its January “Business after Hours” for the purpose of focusing on non-profits. The event will be at the First Baptist Church in Gaffney on Thursday, Jan. 21 at 5:30 p.m.

Thirty ‘not for profit’ organizations from Cherokee County will be represented. Each group will be showcasing their contributions to the community. The event will be a great opportunity to meet with representatives of the non-profit sector.

Door prizes will be given throughout the evening’s event to enliven the atmosphere. In addition to the door prizes, food and soft drinks will also be provided by the participating groups. There is no charge to attend this event and it is open to all Chamber members, non-profit employees, volunteers, and any persons interested in finding out more about volunteer opportunities.

“If you want to make a difference in the world, there’s not a better place to start than here in Cherokee County,” stated Kayla Robbs, Executive Director for the Chamber. “Volunteers are desperately needed and now is the time to stand up and make a difference.”
