Business Spotlights of March

It was an exciting time of growth for VIP Nails here in

Bonham this March, and the Chamber of Commerce was

honored to bring attention to their success as our newest

member. Tuesday, March 13, VIP Nails 2 opened their doors for

business at 316 E Sam Rayburn.

Store owner, Amy, and her staff gave tours of the facility, which included brand new massage chairs, a whole wall of nail

colors and dips, two waxing rooms and equipment for facials. You can see some video of the tour on the Chamber’s facebook page.

Chamber Director Chair Elect, Deana Staton, presented VIP Nails 2 with their “first dollar”, and this was followed by a

congratulatory certificate from the office of Senator Bob Hall.

Those already familiar with VIP

Nails will appreciate the new ambiance

and luxury décor of VIP Nails 2. New

customers will enjoy their selection of

services. Congratulations to VIP Nails 2 on

their first day of business.

VIP Nails 2

The first quarter of the year is a great time to begin/renew your Chamber

membership. The Bonham Chamber of Commerce is proud of our high retention

rate of renewing members, and thankful to the commitment of our members.

Established businesses are the foundation of our business community.

We are always excited to grow our numbers, and welcome what our new

members bring to our Chamber, from ideas and jobs to energy and vision. It’s great

to have new team members aboard.

Our Membership and Recognition committee members have been

dropping in to visit with local businesses, answering questions about the Chamber,

and, perhaps, dropping off some cookies. The Chamber depends heavily on our

board members being willing to be the face of the Chamber to our businesses,

thank you Deana Staton, Melissa Wallace, Kristy Agerlid, and Megan Towery.

If you see one of these committee members, or any of our Chamber

board, around town, feel free to ask them about what the Chamber does, and what

membership might mean for you!
