Burney Chamber of Commerce,
Mayers Memorial Hospital and Mountain Valleys Health Centers partner to give
$10,000.00 to local business project.
Everyone loves a great story. It’s the happy
ending that generates box office hits and best-selling novels. The anticipation
that good is coming. Well, for the Intermountain communities of Big Valley,
Burney, Fall River, and McArthur that’s exactly what happened. What began as a
usual Chamber meeting last Tuesday morning soon turned into the power of
community and goodwill.
That morning
the Burney Chamber of Commerce reminded members they had set aside $5,000
raised from successful fundraising during 2015 to be used for a project.
Upon hearing
this, one individual at the meeting had the notion of bringing two local health
care organizations, Mayers Memorial Hospital and Mountain Valleys Health
Centers together to provide matching funds. Within 24 hours both CEO’s Louis
Ward of Mayers Memorial Hospital and Dave Jones of Mountain Valleys Health
Centers were enthusiastic in supporting their local communities. This brought
the funding up from $5,000.00 to $10,000.00. With the additional funding Burney
Chamber of Commerce members will be extending the deadline for the business
project to February 25, 2016.
If you would
like to provide matching funds or give a donation please contact Anne Kerns at
530-335-2111 or email at burneychamber@frontiernet.net.
If you would
like to submit a project idea, please provide the following:
1. Describe what your
project is and how you see it being of benefit the entire business community.
2. Give the Burney Chamber
of Commerce an estimate of the cost ($10,000.00 or less).
3. How do you see your
project being put into practice?
4. Is there a way to
measure the effectiveness of this project? If there is, please describe
the method of measurement.
5. Get it to the Burney
Chamber office by February 25, 2015.
