| Aug 18 7 basic steps for marketing success Workshop |
| Did you know that the #1 reason businesses fail is the lack of a sound marketing plan to generate qualified leads and gain new customers? In fact, a recent (January 2016) study stated that 88% of business owners reported difficulty with cash flow. The majority (77%) of those businesses also report that they have no system in place for generating new leads and customers. That is no coincidence! If your business cannot generate leads and customers, it will have a cash flow problem. If you have a cash flow problem you increase your risk of business failure. It is time to do something about it. You need to get a sound marketing plan that does not rely on hope and a prayer. In this workshop you will learn: • The 7 basic steps for marketing success • What you need to know to build your strategy • Why the buyer, and not you, is in charge • The one critical mistake in most businesses marketing plan • Why referrals may be costing you money, not making it • The two simple tools your business is flat out ignoring The proven techniques you will learn in this workshop are tailored for the small businesses. What you learn will help you build a strategy that is both affordable and effective for attracting new customers. Who should attend: business owners and managers, marketing managers, business development managers, sales managers. If you are responsible for leads and customers, you should attend this workshop. Who is presenting? David C. Smith, Calhoun County Chamber member and owner of Valens Point, a marketing strategy and execution company located in Anniston. |

| Aug 19 Longleaf Pine Needle Basket Workshop |
| Join basket artist and expert botanist Brittney Hughes to learn the basic steps to creating a coiled basket from longleaf pine needles. Each participant will learn the basic skills of pine needle basketry and take home their very own creation. The art of coiling baskets is universally common to indigenous peoples. Coiling is the technique of creating baskets and art from pine needles and was a part of pre-Columbian Native American crafts. Today, pine needle baskets and art are made primarily for decorative purposes. All materials (pine needles, thread, and small center for basket) will be furnished. Funding for this program is provided by the Northeast Alabama Community Foundation Stringfellow Health Fund Grant through the Conservation Education Institute of the Georgia-Alabama Land Trust. Pre-registration required. Call 256-237-6766 to reserve your child’s spot. |

| Aug 31 Laps for Life |
The 12th annual American Red Cross and Talladega Superspeedway’s “Laps for Life” blood drive returns on Thursday, Aug. 31, from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the FOX Sports 1 Dome located at the International Motorsports Hall of Fame, and there is plenty of incentive to donate.
Every individual who attempts to donate blood will receive an incredible array of items which include: a high-speed ride around the 33-degree high banks of NASCAR’s Biggest and Baddest track; a commemorative T-shirt (limited to the first 200 who attempt to donate); two complimentary grandstand tickets to the fred’s 250 Powered by Coca-Cola NASCAR Camping World Truck Series playoff race on Oct. 14; a self-guided tour of the International Motorsports Hall of Fame; and a delicious BBQ sandwich provided by “Smoke N Hot BBQ,” located in Anniston, AL.
Well over 1,500 pints of blood or blood products have been collected since Talladega Superspeedway first partnered with the American Red Cross in 2006 for the “Laps for Life” blood drive. One pint of blood can help save up to three lives. Potentially over 4,500 lives have been saved since the inception of the “Laps for Life” event. Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood, and eligible donors can feel good knowing that by donating through the Red Cross, they are helping patients not only in their community, but also their family and friends.
“We appreciate Talladega Superspeedway’s continued support of our lifesaving mission,” said Mario Sedlock, Director of Donor Recruitment for the American Red Cross Alabama and Central Gulf Coast Blood Services Region. “This blood drive is a great opportunity for volunteers to help ensure a stable blood supply for hospital patients in need.”
To register online go to www.redcrossblood.org and enter the sponsor code: TALLADEGA. Follow instructions on the website to complete registration. Those interested can also register by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
Simply call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit www.redcrossblood.org for more information or to schedule your appointment. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
The “Laps for Life” blood drive takes place just a few weeks in advance of Talladega’s double-header playoff weekend (Oct. 13-15) featuring the fred’s 250 Powered by Coca-Cola on Saturday, Oct. 14, where the playoff contenders will be trimmed from eight to six at event’s end, and the Alabama 500 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race on Sunday, Oct. 15 - Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s final scheduled MENCS start at Talladega. |
