SUMMARY:First Responders Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our annual First Responders Luncheon!\nOur First Responders dedicate themselves to protecting and serving our community every day. This fall\, the Chamber is proud to recognize these local heroes at our First Responders Luncheon\, and we’re inviting our members to help make this special event possible. \nThere are three meaningful ways you can get involved: \nBecome a Sponsor\nHelp us honor those who serve our community through an event sponsorship. Sponsorship opportunities are available at $250 and $750\, offering your business visibility while demonstrating your support for our local police officers\, firefighters\, EMS personnel\, dispatchers\, and other first responders. Sponsorship can be reserved on our events page or by simply contacting the chamber! \nWrite a Letter of Appreciation\nA heartfelt note can make a lasting impact. We’re collecting thank-you notes (notecard sized and handwritten) from Chamber members to include in each first responder’s luncheon gift box. Whether it’s a few sentences or a full page\, your words of encouragement and gratitude will help remind our first responders how much they’re appreciated. Our goal is to have more than one personal note per lunch so feel free to contribute up to the full 550 list! Note: We will need these notes no later than September 8th at the Chamber Office for pre-packaging. \nVolunteer to Assemble Gift Boxes\nWe’re looking for a limited number of volunteers to help assemble the appreciation packets and boxed lunches before the event. It’s a great opportunity to serve alongside fellow Chamber members and play a hands-on role in recognizing our community’s heroes. We ask that each volunteer group limit their numbers to less 5 per organization to give as many organizations the opportunity to participate as possible.  Volunteer shifts are from 8:30am-10:30am on September 11th at Ouachita Parish Schools Office. Sign up online at our events page or call the Chamber for details! \n To learn more about the event\, visit our website linked under the website description.
