This is the first year we started it. Last year, we had four corporate sponsors at 2,500 each, but because the Chamber continues to have a deficit, even though we have made extreme cuts, we still have a gap to fill.

More Quotes from Emilie Mims:
Last night was a great night for the Chamber of Commerce and a great night for Atmore. Gov. Riley could not have been any more gracious and complimentary about our community. His message was so well said. He presented it in such an easygoing manner that was easily understood not to mention uplifting and inspiring. He left us with a sense of real hope for our state under his leadership.Emilie Mims
