The Greater Elkhart Chamber of Commerce will welcome new teachers and administrators of Elkhart, Concord, and Baugo School systems and area private schools with a welcome presentation at their school system’s orientation in August.

Sponsors are needed for the canvas bags and items to fill them. The completed welcome bags will be delivered to each new educator at their school.

Each bag will contain information about Elkhart County, a listing of contributing businesses, and donated items such as pens, pencils, office supplies, coupons or products with company names and logos. To fill the bags and meet the goal to reach all new educators in the community,  220 items are needed.

Donations should be received at the Chamber by July 25. Bag sponsorships ($400) are due by June 13.

For more information, or if you are interested in donating items for the bags, please contact Kathy at (574) 293-1531 Ext. 122 or kcardwell@elkhart.org
