I really enjoy the social atmosphere and the colorful displays of produce at the local farmers markets that bring back great memories created in my childhood.

Nam Pham – Community Liason

Nam Pham
I moved to Raleigh over twenty years ago when my parents relocated our family from New York due to my father’s job. The move was tough on all of us, but I still remember how excited we were when we finally found the perfect home. To this day, my parents still live in the same house. It’s a walk down memory lane every time I go there. The neighbors have changed some, but other than some standard updates and remodeling, the house is still the same. To us it’s not just where we live, it’s a place where some our best memories were made. It’s where our friends and family have gathered for various milestones in life. It was and… Read the rest

Benson Chamber of Commerce

Benson Chamber of Commerce
There are so many ways in which we can embrace our community. One of these you are already very good at – welcoming newcomers. Another of very great importance is supporting our local businesses. Studies show what when you shop with a local mom and pop store, approximately 51 cents of every dollar spent stays in the community, as opposed to only 13 cents when shopping at a big box store. I am always struck by how busy downtown Benson is, and I urge you to continue your support of these local businesses to keep downtown Benson vibrant. But our community extends beyond downtown, and is currently experiencing some welcome growth. In addition, we have Chamber members from other surrounding… Read the rest
