To date, in spite of substantial cost increases in several areas we have remained within the budget framework. Unfortunately, even though our membership has grown, not everyone has responded with their fair share investment. The net result is a shortfall of ap proximately $6,000 in fund ing the 1981 budget. In terms of time this means , that your Chamber will run out of 1981 operating capital early in the month of October. If in the meantime additional funds do not become available we will have no other choice but to temporarily close the Chamber offices. Your Board of Directors is attempting to provide at least in part, the required capital through projects such as a soon to be an nounced Flea Market. Your JAMES F.

Edenton, North Carolina, Thursday, August 13, 1981 support is needed at this time if your Chamber is to continue. Highway Signs As most of you know, in 1978 the Chamber undertook to have three large lighted billboard signs erected adjacent to Route 17 Bypass. These signs serve as additional identification of Edenton to traffic using the Bypass. Initial funding of the signs was undertaken in 1877-78 and shared by your Chamber of Commerce and the NC Department of Commerce. The amount obtained at that time was sufficient to underwrite the showing of the signs through December 1981. Cost for display of these signs after January 1, 1982 would be approximately $3,500 per year. We have been advised under economic conditions monies are no longer available through the Department of Commerce for projects of this type. In light of our present budget situation as outlined in the preceeding paragraphs your Board of Directors decided the Chamber will be unable to provide funding from the operating budget, for these signs after December of this year. Farmers Market As mentioned in our May newsletter your Chamber together with Agricultural Extension Office established, in June, The Chowan County Farmers Market. In terms of in terested buyers this effort has been an outstanding success. The residents in and around Edenton have responded each day the market was open by pur chasing nearly the entire stock of excellent produce offered by those vendors attending. One note of disappointment does exist however in that the majority of farmers and gardners of our area did not take ad vantage of an opportunity that has proven successful in many surrounding communities. We are in debted to the faithful par ticipation of Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Hartman of Merry Hill and Mrs. Virginia Hobbs of Rt. 3 Edenton. Without these The Chowan Herald SECTION B people the market would not have existed.

While one need not drive any great distance to learn that a number of communities with a lot less to offer have also achieved this distinction, this fact does not in any way diminish the value of the community of excellence program to us. With any undertaking of this type the real benefits a com munity realizes are directly proportioned to the efforts expended and the skill with which the results are ap plied.
