Less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene was the third hurricane in 13 months to hit Florida’s Big Bend, Hurricane Milton approaches the Gulf Coast bringing storm surge, rain, and wind to an already storm battered state. While the Red Cross continues to respond to Helene’s wake across ten states, they are also mobilizing volunteers and resources to prepare for Milton. This type of continuous response is becoming the norm and while the Red Cross is poised to handle it, more help is needed. Local Capital Area Florida Board Members and Volunteers have been committed to providing hope and relief in our area from the tornadoes in May to Hurricanes Debby and Helene, and countless disasters before and between. Through the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors, the Red Cross will continue to be there for our neighbors on what could be their darkest day. Check out this video to see some of our local community members, Kyndra Light and Joe Boals, in action: https://vimeo.com/1013848011/67409e9dc7?share=copy.
Why I joined the Chamber
“The Chamber is all about being given the opportunity to form relationships through networking. In Leads Groups, you spend quality time with other businesses, and often gain “Access” (another Chamber group focusing on younger members) to their connections as well. In Leadership Tallahassee, you gain a new family of business leaders, and are guaranteed exposure to something or some group you were not familiar with, while broadening your understanding of all things “Tallahassee”. With LT’s Building Better Boards, you get to spend an evening with a great, philanthropic/altruistic group who are learning to serve their nonprofits more effectively. With the Chamber Conference, you get to spend quality time off-site and in a more casual setting while learning more about our community. Is the Chamber helpful for your business? Absolutely – especially if you join, engage, and take advantage of the great programs they offer!”
