Charlotte County Chamber to host New Teachers’ Breakfast

May 31, 2022

On Thursday, July 28, Charlotte County Public Schools will be welcoming approximately 150 new teachers for the 2022-2023 school year. That’s an amazing amount of new talent to be shared and cultivated to the youth of our amazing community.

Our New Teachers’ Breakfast will be at the Charlotte Harbor Event & Conference Center, located at 75 Taylor St., Punta Gorda from 7:30–8:45 a.m.

As part of this special experience, we want to ensure that each teachers is sponsored by a chamber member. The cost to sponsor a new teacher is $45. For that sponsorship, you will have the opportunity to have breakfast and to sit with a new teacher, make them feel welcome, share great information about our community and get acquainted with them. Having been a part of this special event for the past several years, it is very heart-warming to share information about Charlotte County and to learn their story and what has gotten them to this point in their careers. You can feel the excitement and anticipation they are feeling.

I highly encourage our members to participate in our Annual New Teachers’ Breakfast on Thursday, July 28. To register and sponsor a new teacher visit our website: charlottecountychamber.org or feel free to call the chamber office at 941-627-2222.
