The Design committee works toward the visual success of the business community with projects that include improved streetscapes and beautification projects. The Promotion committee creates an exciting environment through many special merchant promotions throughout the year and continually updates the banner program. TEAM CLEVELAND also organizes special events such as OCTOBERFEST, which is held the 2nd week every October. The festival is held on the greenstrip in downtown Cleveland. The event includes a Memphis in May BBQ Contest, Custom Car Show, over 100 Arts and Crafts, Concessions, Childrens Activities and continual live entertainment throughout Friday night and Saturday. This is truly fun for the whole family.
The Italian Festival of Mississippi is held annually in March at the Bolivar County Expo Center in Cleveland. The event features wine tasting, bocce tournament, grape stomping, Italian cooking contest, cooking seminars, and a children’s area. There will be continuous live entertainment all weekend with featured bands each night. This event is a fund-raiser for Team Cleveland/Main Streets community programs.
Although TEAM CLEVELAND (TC) is governed by its own Board of Directors and Executive Committee, just like the Chamber, the Chairman of TC serves as one of five Vice Presidents on the Chamber Executive Committee and Chamber Board of Directors - - one hand knows what the other is doing! This "working relationship" is one of the main reasons for the success of the organization.
TC dues are $50 annually; but, considering the investment, it's a truly small price to pay! |
