SGC Announces Second Annual Community Resource Fair on Aug. 18

Local businesses and community organizations are invited to attend the Second Annual South Georgia College Community Resource Fair on Thursday, August 18, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. as a part of SGC’s Week of Welcome festivities. Each year, SGC sponsors a number of exciting activities during the first week of fall semester. In 2010, the College added a community resource fair to the week’s events.

The fair will be held during a campus-wide cookout, and it’s a great way for businesses and organizations to promote their products/services, announce any community-wide volunteer opportunities, share student discounts or specials, and enhance student awareness of what is offered in the Douglas-Coffee County area. Attendees would have exposure to SGC’s students and employees on this special one-day event.

Each business or organization will be given a six-foot table to display brochures, samples, etc. The resource fair will take place on the lawn in front of Peterson Hall. The deadline to register is Aug. 8. Space is limited to the first 50 vendors and will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. To register, contact SGC’s Office of Advancement at (912) 260-4273 or email advancement@sgc.edu. Please note that the college reserves the right to decline a vendor based on SGC and USG policies. Further details about spaces and set-up times will be shared upon receipt of registration.
