Dahlonega Chamber - We Love Ya!

One of the first steps we took when moving to Dahlonega and Beyond was to join the Dahlonega- Lumpkin County Chamber of Commerce. To be honest, we weren't expecting much. Boy, were we in for a surprise!

The DLCCC is extremely well organized and run by an experienced staff, people who know how to get the job done (and done well.) Just last weekend the Chamber hosted the biggest cycling event in the Southeast - over 2400 cyclists converged on the city for the 23rd Annual Six Gap Century and Three Gap Fifty Rides. 

One of our favorite events is the Chamber's monthly Business After Hours where we hob-nob with the mayor, city council members, state legislatures and county commissioners, and meet other Lumpkin area business owners. And of course, we eat. It seems that the host of the month tries to out do the previous hosts when it comes to food. (This month's menu included mini-crab cakes and gourmet cheeses.)

When we lived in metro Atlanta, we worked with the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce and Metro Atlanta Chamber as well. Now that we're a part of the Dahlonega-Lumpkin Chamber, we're not so impressed with those big Atlanta area chambers any more. Dahlonega Chamber - We love ya!
