OEA’s January Business Forum to feature NEW Give Campaign

The Oconee Economic Alliance (OEA) holds the January Business Forum on Thursday, Jan. 11. This month’s business forum will feature Janet Hartman, Manager of Destination Oconee. OEA is also introducing a NEW component to the business forums; the #GiveOconee initiative. Each month, the OEA will feature an Oconee County based nonprofit and solicit your help in meeting their immediate needs. This month, the OEA features the Golden Corner Food Pantry. Jeff Heaton, Executive Director, will be in attendance. The community is encouraged to help the OEA collect toiletry items that are seldom donated to the food pantry like; toilet paper, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, etc. There will be a designated location for your donations at the forums but monetary donations are also accepted. The OEA challenges the community to #ThinkOconee when you shop, eat, and play, but also when you give. The OEA Business Forum is a monthly opportunity for citizens and business leaders to come together in Oconee County to network, receive timely updates on topics facing the community and discuss ways to work together in making Oconee County a better place. The Business Forum is made possible by the generous support of the OEA membership. The forum begins at 8am on Jan. 11, and the public is encouraged to attend this free event at Thrift Development, located at 180 Bountyland Road in Seneca.
