Midlothian Chamber of Commerce

The Midlothian Chamber of Commerce’s Beautification Committee held its first official Shop Day for the Teachers Treasure Warehouse May 15, 2006.  More than 100 teachers shopped for items to use in their classrooms. 

“This was a great turnout,” said Jamey Guarascio-Cosper, coordinator for the Chamber of Commerce.  “This was a wonderful opportunity for businesses to partner with the schools to help teachers stock their classrooms.”
