| Apr 8 Edwin McCain Live at Depot District Music Festival |
| Tickets: http://bit.ly/2mY5vA2 Called the "great American romantic" by the New York Times, Edwin McCain has built an enviable career over the past 20 years by balancing his massive pop success with the year-round touring schedule of a tireless troubadour. His hit songs, authentic spirit and surprisingly affable sense of humor keep fans coming back time and time again for nights that feel more like parties with old friends than rock concerts. After recording two of the biggest love songs in the history of pop music, McCain now performs upwards of 100 shows annually throughout the US as a solo artist, with his full band or his acoustic trio. Recently, he's added orchestras to his repertoire, performing with symphonies in select markets where he brings his powerful songs to majestic new heights. Those enduring love songs (and wedding must-haves) "I'll Be" and "I Could Not Ask For More" aren't just for the romantic at heart; "American Idol" and "The Voice" contestants turn to Edwin's ballads every single year to help them win over judges and fans alike (just AI's Ninth Season winner, Nick Fradiani). Even Justin Bieber has been known to belt out "I'll Be" during his own concerts. A couple years ago, McCain suddenly found himself with a whole new crop of fans when his "Flipping Ships" television show debuted on Animal Planet and became one of the highest rated new programs for the network. During the season, Edwin happily juggled his two jobs, filming the show by day and headlining concerts at night. “The 15-year-old me would have crawled through a river of fire to be the 47-year-old singer/songwriter that I am today, and I remember that,” he says. “I am incredibly grateful to be able to do this.” |

| Apr 20 Lunch and Learn/Third Thursday |
|
Social Engineering: Business Security and Privacy
Our presenter for this session is Adam Sewell with MyGeek Technologies. Social engineering can cover a wide range of topics but is basically the idea of using the human element to extract information from businesses and organizations. No amount of technology can prevent social engineering attacks, but training and awareness can. We will cover different methods that could be used to attack your business as well as ways to train your employees and policies to put in place to hopefully prevent them.

When:
Thursday, April 20th
12:00pm-1:00pm-Lunch and Learn |
From 1:00pm-3:00pm will be our regular Third Thursday session with Martha Larson, Director of the Small Business Center, DCCC. You are welcome to stay to discuss topics important to your business, along with any additional questions your may have from our lunch and learn.
Where:
Lexington Chamber Office
507 East Center Street, Lexington NC |
Lunch is $5. We will be having Domino's Pizza.
If you are planning to attend and have lunch please RSVP to the Chamber by Wednesday, February 15th by close of business.
(the seminar is free to attend and having lunch is optional) |
Our Purpose:
Third Thursday is a monthly small business counseling program hosted by the Lexington Area Chamber of Commerce and DCCC's Small Business Center. This is a no-appointment-needed service. The Chamber refers businesses to the Small Business Center both here and on the DCCC campus. But this is a specific designated time when you know that support and advice will be available. Entrepreneurship is the fastest growing segment of business development. Marketing, finance, business plans and other issues are common to those seeking assistance. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for businesses to get free assistance. |
