Rain Moves North Fulton Chamber's Golf Tourney to November

Country Club of the South will host the annual Golf Classic, and now new businesses can become weather-related sponsors.

Monday's Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce Golf Classic was rained out, but golfers don't have to miss out on this chance to hit the links. The chamber has rescheduled the tournament to Monday, Nov. 19 at Country Club of the South in Johns Creek. The later date has opened up some additional sponsorship opportunities that just didn't make sense this week. All of the original sponsorships were sold out, but in mid-November these sponsorships could be very popular: Presented by Northside Hospital, the annual GNFCC Golf Classic is the chamber's largest fundraising event.

Summer Food Drive for NFCC Sponsored by Chamber

The North Fulton Chamber of Commerce hosts a Summer Jam on Thursday during its week-long food drive, and a food donation is all it costs to attend.

The week-long Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce Food Drive is in its second day, as the business organization works to stock the shelves of a local food pantry. Everybody thinks of those struggling to survive the weak economy with no jobs or low-income positions during the cooler winter months near the holidays. But during the summer, it's easy to forget the need. "Their need grows during the summer months as children are home from school," the chamber's release on the food drive said. School children receive reduced cost or free breakfast and lunch during the school year, but not in the summer. The chamber's food drive helps stock the shelves of North Fulton Community Charities, which in turn provides food to a growing number of …
