hello

March 13, 2008 - The 3rd Annual Union Towns Employer Committee and Cushman Fruit Company HoneyBell Fundraiser was a definite success. Money was raised to support local high school scholarships and other local community programs.

The Employer Committee would like to extend a huge thank-you to Cushman Fruit Company for partnering with the committee. The “Juicy Deal” allowed the committee to expand their local scholarship offerings and to continue their community involvement.

Thanks also to Sonny Mahan and BRMEMC for providing the opportunity to include the fundraising information with their monthly billing statement.

Of course it’s the people in the community that really make any fundraiser successful. Thanks to local citizens for their continued support and participation. We look forward to offering this fundraiser again starting in October 2008.

Since moving their Catalog Sales Call Center to Blairsville in 2005, Cushman Fruit Company has given back to the community in many ways. They also provide numerous opportunities for meaningful employment. For more information about Cushman Fruit Company, visit www.honeybell.com.

The Union Towns Employer Committee meetings are informative, fun, and a great way to get in some friendly networking during lunch. Employer Meetings are held every other month at various locations in Towns and Union counties. Interested employers are encouraged to become involved in the Union Towns Employer Committee. Membership provides the opportunity for informational sessions on issues directly affecting day to day business operations.
