After working through the challenges of a chronic illness through her twenties, Danielle Hall sought alternative sources of recovery and pain management when traditional medicine didn't offer relief. Through her journey she found sound therapy, and began her "second life" helping others to find space within themselves using sound baths to relax and destress.
You can find SoundEmbrace on Facebook and Instagram, or you can visit her website for her scheduled event dates and times locally here in Calhoun County.
Be on the lookout for announcements of our upcoming Sound Bath session right here at the Chamber! Chamber members receive a special discount for this session courtesy of Danielle!

Communications Director Ashlee Jones sat down with Chamber Board Member Kevin Gibson to discuss the Chamber's upcoming PITCH Competition!
Are you a small business making at or below $250,000 a year? Is there a project you've been wanting to grow into with your business? You're in luck!
PITCH is an innovative and unique way for the Chamber to further serve our community, where one small business will win a cash prize to build their business and further their growth. All received applications will be narrowed down, and those selected will compete LIVE by making a presentation (or pitch) to the judging panel and the crowd at our PITCH Competition on Thursday, April 21st, 2022 from 12 PM -1 PM at the Oxford Civic Center. The judging panel will consist of 4 business leaders within the community and the audience will act as the 5th judge.
The winning small business will be awarded a prize in capital; however, each business invited to present will receive substantial visibility through its ability to tell its story to the panel and crowd attending. Be sure to apply before March 31st!
For more information, please contact Public Affairs Director Kate Jaudon at katej@calhounchamber.com!

Dale Smith saw a need in Alabama when it came to aiding individuals that were post-incarceration. These were people who had been in prison for several years and were being released to an entirely different world that didn't offer them many prospects to be successful. By establishing and educating inmates before they are released, Dale and his team have begun to change lives across several states with their program, one small business at a time!
