SUMMARY:Chamber Celebrates 49th Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE:  Southport-Oak Island Area Chamber of Commerce \nSouthport\, NC\, June 27\, 2024–The members of the Southport-Oak Island Area Chamber of Commerce gathered at the Southport Community Building for the Chamber’s 49th Annual Meeting on June 26th. This meeting serves as an opportunity for the membership to network\, celebrate the success of the fiscal year and refocus for the coming year. \nAfter enjoying a sweet breakfast provided by Burney’s Bakery of Southport\, Bald Head Coffee & Tea House\, and Nonnie’s Baking Company the meeting was called to order.  Keynote speakers Trevor Carroll\, PE\, Deputy Division Engineer\, and Michelle Howes\, PE Corridor Development Engineer\, Division 3\, NC Department of Transportation gave a detailed update about transportation improvements in development\, under construction\, and unfunded future projects. \nThe meeting also serves as a platform for the leadership to pass from the current President of the Chamber’s Board of Directors to the next.  Teresa Carroll (Edward Jones) passed the presidential gavel to Brooke Rudd-Gaglie (Margaret Rudd & Associates\, Inc.\, REALTORS).   Prior to relinquishing the presidency\, Carroll reflected on the past year and made several recognitions.  “We have refocused our efforts and the members resources to create additional member centric opportunities like the Coastal Health\, Fitness & Beauty Showcase and the Fashion with Friends Fashion Show.  Both events were hugely successful and showcased different segments of our membership.”   “We also packaged our membership levels to streamline the event sponsorship opportunities – giving our members options to increase support and business visibility.”  Carroll stressed the need to grow the membership and challenged the current members to recruit one new member in the next 30 days. \nThe President’s Award is presented annually to an individual or group that has significantly impacted our business community or the Chamber. Carroll awarded this year’s President’s Award to Ben Frazier(The State Port Pilot). “Your dedication extends beyond professional achievements. You have been a champion of numerous charitable causes\, dedicating countless hours to volunteer work and ensuring our chamber thrives through community memberships.” Carroll continued by thanking Frazier for his “exceptional service and for making our community a better place.“ \nCaroll announced the 2023/2024 Ann Hollingsworth Ambassador of the Year\, Felicia Sexton (Independent Associate of LegalShield/IDShield and Carolina Crab Brewing Company) for representing the chamber at the 58 Chamber functions.  Ambassadors are fellow chamber members who volunteer their time to update other chamber members about upcoming activities and gain feedback from the membership. \nCarroll completed the awards by recognizing fellow retiring Lisa Benna (Benna Consulting\, LLC)\, Cindy Capps (Rusty Hooks Dockside Grill & Sunset Deck)\, Heather King (Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center)\, Brina Neeley (Coastline Insurance Associates of NC & Beach Body Contouring & Wellness)\, Pamela Sexton (Cattail Cottage).  The Southport-Oak Island Area Chamber of Commerce is governed by a 15-member Board of Directors of which five directors are elected annually and serve a three-year term. \nBrooke Rudd-Gaglie (Margaret Rudd & Associates\, Inc.\, REALTORS) thanked Teresa Carroll for her service and leadership as the presidency was handed over to her for the 2024/2025 fiscal year.  She then addressed the membership “One of my fondest memories dates back to when my father\, S.R. “Buddy” Rudd Jr. chaired the US Open King Mackerel Tournament. A group of us would run around on the docks\, poking fisheyes\, jumping from dock to dock.  I won’t say who\, but one of us missed the dock and landed directly into the marina water.  Never could I have imagined that one day I would be sworn in as the Southport-Oak Island Area Chamber of Commerce President.  This morning\, we heard words like “overpass”\, “interchanges”\, & “expansion projects” as Trevor and Michele from NCDOT updated the room.  We have grown from an area not even on the map to a sought-after destination.  Now you may be asking yourself why I shared the story about the US Open years ago.  As members of the Southport-Oak Island Area Chamber of Commerce\, we are guardians of our history and storytellers of our area.  Our members embody the essence of a small town\, extending warmth and hospitality to those who hear the stories and can’t wait to arrive and experience adventures.   I am hopeful all our members realize how important they are and what roles they play in the lives of so many.  Businesses who aren’t yet members\, come on and join.  Join in with stories you have that can be told.  Together we can grow in numbers but retain that down home feel woven through small towns everywhere. “ \nRudd-Gaglie introduced the 2024/2025 Board of Directors.  Individuals elected by the membership to fill those retiring positions were Kevin Annas (MOcean Contracting\, Inc.)\, Victoria Bellamy (Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center)\, Jessica Niedomanski (Coastline Insurance Associates of NC\, Inc.)\, Carysa Overcash\, Cape Fear Fitness\, and Jeffrey Stites (Southport Magazine).    Those continuing their terms on the board include:  Justin Cutrell (First Citizens Bank)\, Jackie Del Prete (Dunes Mercantile Gifts & Guitars)\, Gina DiSabato (Island Treasure Hunt)\, Hugh Fosbury (iTrip Vacations of Oak Island & Captain Newton’s Inn)\, Jack Hamilton (Hamilton Realty Group at eXp Realty)\, Will Mitchell (Corning Federal Credit Union)\,  Bradley Narron (BEMC)\, and Felicia Sexton(Independent Associate of LegalShield/IDShield and Carolina Crab Brewing Company). \nThe Annual Meeting sponsors were by Berry\, Padgett & Chandler\, PLLC; Burney’s Bakery of Southport\,  City of Southport\, Dosher Memorial Hospital; East Coast Moving\, LLC; Grey Outdoor\, LLC\, J.R. Huntley Homes\, Lil & John Sweetreat Ice Cream Parlor\, Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center\, Oak Island Sporting Goods\,  Osteo Health & Balance\, TotalEnergies Renewables USA\, LLC – Carolina Long Bay\,  Tranquil Harbour Restaurant & Bar\, and Wall Recycling. \nIf you would like more information about this topic or to join the Chamber\, please contact Karen Sphar at 910-457-6964 or email at karen@southport-oakisland.com. \nPictured Left to right: \nTrevor Carroll\, PE\, Deputy Division Engineer\, and Michelle Howes\, PE Corridor Development Engineer\, Division 3\, NC Department of Transportation\nPresident’s Award – Ben Frazier (The State Port Pilot) and Teresa Carroll\, 2023/24 Chamber President\nAnn Hollingsworth Ambassador Award –Felicia Sexton 2023/24 Ambassador of the Year with Teresa Carroll\, 2023/2024 President\nRetiring Board Member: )\, Heather King (Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center)\, Brina Neeley (Coastline Insurance Associates of NC & Beach Body Contouring & Wellness)\, & 2023/24 Chamber President Teresa Carroll (Edward Jones).

SUMMARY:CRCI Thrift Store Opening
DESCRIPTION:We are proud to announce that CRCI has now opened a brand new thrift location right in Brunswick County. The previous location of Sugar Kingdom\, in Sunset Beach\, has been fully converted into a 10\,000 sq ft CRCI Thrift Store! The support for our already existing location in Shallotte continues to build and grow\, and we are so grateful to now provide a way for us to reach into another community with this great service. CRCI views our Thrift operation as a three-way partnership with our donors/volunteers\, us\, and our customers. First and foremost\, our kind supporters give generously of their gently used and new items. Those supporters are directly impacting residential programs\, as every dollar generated by the sale of those items pours into our charitable services and helps to keep them free of charge to the participants. CRCI’s commitment to our customers is evident not only in our pricing but also in our store presentation. Partnering with our customers to ensure they receive quality goods at a more affordable price is the third leg of the mission. To all those currently involved in this avenue of our ministry\, we say “thank you”. \nIf you are interested in volunteering at this new location\, we are currently in need of customer service representatives who can be the warm and welcoming face to all of our visitors coming to find their treasures! \nAddress: \n1680 Seaside Rd SW Sunset Beach\, 28468 \nOpen: June 1st 2024 \nOfficial Grand Opening / Ribbon Cutting: July 20th
