High Noon in High Point

by David Tully and Jessica Heilweil

The Bandwagon started off yesterday with a stop to the High Market parking lot, where we distributed flyers to local shoppers.  After our quick literature drop, we hopped on board for a visit to the High Point Chamber of Commerce, where we were greeted by their wonderful staff.

The High Point Chamber has been serving the greater High Point and Triad Region since 1919 with the goal of spreading hope and prosperity to local businesses.  Two years ago, Zaki Khalisa, a famous rug importer and salesman, donated his 23,000 sq. foot showroom to the High Point Chamber, which became the working center for business advocacy. Zaki's hope was that the new location would be "...the place where the dreams of High Point are made."
 
Today, the High Point Chamber's new facility allows their members, community stakeholders, and prospective businesses to partake in the dream of sharing their voice for business.
 
The High Point staff enjoyed their tour of the bandwagon, as well as a guided view of the VoteForBusiness website.

Then it was off to Abingdon, Virginia. The adventure continues...
