TGCCLACC provides office space for a chapter of SCORE Counselors to America 's Small Business. SCORE offers free counseling for small business owners who may be struggling in a particular area and those who may be considering starting a business. This partnership has helped many local business owners and continues to grow as a vital service to the area. To schedule an appointment, call the chamber office at 903.887.3152.
The chamber partners with the Athens office of East Texas Workforce Centers for at least one Job Fair annually to serve the employers and workforce of Cedar Creek Lake. They also co-sponsor events with the Avanti Society/Henderson County Performing Arts Center and assist with the annual Cedar Creek Lake Area Christmas Parade.
In addition to the many annual chamber “Hub” activities, the five branches independently sponsor their own various community events, including Western Week in Mabank in June and Pioneer Days in Eustace in the fall. Please check our Calendar of Events for a complete list. TGCCLACC Ambassadors, a group of approximately 20 volunteer chamber advocates, attend ribbon cuttings, solicit new members and assist where needed. The group meets for lunch the third Tuesday of each month and all members are encouraged to join.
