Education Sponsorship   One of our main goals is the promotion of education in our area. Our schools are the farm where we are cultivating our next generation of business owners, community leaders and workforce. As we have stated many times, it is very crucial that we cultivate the “Best and Brightest”; here is a golden opportunity to help achieve that goal.  Our Youth Leadership Surry Group, which is a collection of students with the highest of potential from each of the local high schools, are taking a bus trip to Raleigh where they will participate in the following activities:  A tour of the Capital Building Sit in on a legislative committee meeting Witness a legislative session Meet with representatives of Surry County Dine with representatives in the legislators’ cafeteria Tour the North Carolina Museum of History Tour the old Capital Building The reason we are contacting you is that the group needs sponsorship for their bus trip to and from Raleigh and we asking you to sponsor a seat on the bus for $60. This is an investment in the economic future of Surry County. Please join many of our Chamber member companies in the area in making a commitment to their future and our future.  Thank you so much for your contribution to this effort.
