Chamber’s New Young Professionals Group Hosts April 1 Launch Event
March 25, 2010 (Newnan, GA) —A “birthday” celebration of the Young Professionals of Newnan-Coweta (YPNC) will take place at the Summergrove clubhouse on Thursday, April 1 at 6:30 pm to launch the new initiative of the Newnan-Coweta Chamber of Commerce.
The Young Professionals is modeled after similar groups in other counties and is being launched by the Chamber’s Membership & Marketing Committee. Committee member Chris Herdener, financial services professional and agent with New York Life and the Grant Financial Group, suggested that it was time for Coweta County, with its large and growing base of talented young professionals, to harness the energy and creativity of this pool of talent and the idea quickly took shape.
A birthday theme will set the tone with food, beverages, music, decorations and even a birthday cake for the Business-After-Hours function showcasing the YPNC. There is no cost but those planning to attend should call the Chamber of Commerce at 770-253-2270 to make reservations. The event is open to the community and attendees need not be a current member of the Chamber.
Membership of the YPNC is open to those between the ages of 21 and 40. Interested individuals are encouraged to contact the Chamber for more details.

“This will definitely be a high-energy crowd, so it makes perfect sense for Coweta-Fayette EMC to be the title sponsor,” said Mary Ann Bell, Vice president of the utility. “We think the Chamber adds great value to our community and we encourage anyone and everyone to join the fun. We welcome the new Silver Sponsors Cardiovascular Consultants of Georgia and PAPP Clinic.”
Robin Harrington, general manager of Junction Lanes, explained that this year’s tournament features a few new twists including an “At the Hop” Networking Game, “Spin the Wheel” when you make a strike, and “Mystery Shot” Contest for Cash. Junction Lanes serves as the annual facilities sponsor.
Immediately following the bowling tournament will be a Chamber “Business-After- Hours” networking event sponsored by Marketing Sense.
Prizes will be awarded for the best-dressed team (50’s attire), the best-decorated lane, and the best combined score. In addition, to win prizes, individuals can compete in the Crazy Bowl and Out-Med “Mystery Shot” contests.
The best advertising deals in town can also be found as a part of the bowling adventure. Businesses can promote their products and services for an entire year to more than 338,000 people. Special deals are available for year-long banner ads, lane sweeps, and combo packages, starting as low as $100.
Registration information is available from the Chamber at 770.253.2270 or at info@newnancowetachamber.org. Cost for Chamber members is $200 per team for four players or $50 per individual.
