Upcoming Ribbon Cuttings/Ground Breaking Ceremonies
2024 Ribbon Cuttings, Grand Openings & Ground Breaking Ceremonies

On May 1, 2024, the Telfair County Chamber of Commerce hosted a Ground Breaking Ceremony for the new construction of the Mount Vernon Bank branch located at 288 Willow Creek Lane in McRae-Helena, GA.

Alan Thigpen, President/CEO of Mount Vernon Bank stated that  “The Mount Vernon Bank is exited and looking forward to expanding its footprint into the market area of Telfair and surrounding counties.  The upcoming merger of Bank of Lumber City’s main office in Lumber City and its branch in McRae-Helena makes this a seamless move.  Both Mount Vernon Bank and Bank of Lumber City have long histories in the communities they serve and will continue to do so.  The addition of the new full service branch will be complete and operational in the coming months and we look forward to providing the same level of customer service that both banks are known for.  With the completion of the merger, Mount Vernon Bank will have 5 locations to serve its customers.  Locations will be in Mount Vernon, 2 locations in Vidalia, Lumber City and McRae-Helena.”

 The ribbon used in the ceremony was donated by C.J.’s Flowers and Gifts in McRae-Helena, GA and the photo is courtesy of Telfair Snap Shots.

Member Development
Guidelines for:
Ribbon Cuttings | Grand Openings | Ground Breakings

The Telfair County Chamber of Commerce is pleased to organize and publicize our member's ribbon cuttings, grand openings and ground breakings in the even that a company/business has recently opened, moved to a new location or expanded its current location.  

We are also happy to help promote any open house or receptions our members have for their clients, vendors, customers, etc.  
To take advantage of these services, company/business must be a member of the Telfair County Chamber of Commerce before planning or publicizing an event.

The Chamber's role in Ribbon Cuttings|Grand Openings|Ground Breakings consist of:
•Sending out invitations to our Chamber Staff and Board of Directors
•Posting details of the event on our website|social media and in an email to all Chamber members and contacts
•Providing scissors and ribbons

Criteria for Chamber involvement in such events are:
•A ribbon cutting|grand opening|ground breaking must take place within 3 months of the opening, moving or expansion of your business;
•We would like to ensure our staff/board of directors are available for an event, so the Chamber tries not to schedule more than one event per day and no more than four events per week.  It is also recommended that you choose several possible dates for an event, in order to work around events that the Chamber may already have scheduled;
•In order to ensure that the Chamber can successfully market the event, we recomment that the event be scheduled at least three weeks prior to the event date;
•We recommend these events be scheduled during business hours, which are 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday - Friday.  It is our experience, events held lduring the business day are better attended by the community but we are open to other hours/days upon availability.
