What is it? An event celebrating a new location or new ownership. The Grand Opening can be held at any time and generally includes entertainment, food, drinks and an invitation to THCC membership. The ribbon cutting ceremony is attended to by THCC staff and occurs over a one hour period. This service is provided to THCC members at no cost.





What does the THCC Provide?
• Invitation to membership and/or board members via an eblast (two week notice is required)
• Recognition and Photo on the THCC website Grand Opening page
• An opportunity for the owner to write an article for an upcoming El Informe newsletter about the Grand Opening

What happens during the Ribbon Cutting?
The THCC staff arrives one hour prior to the ribbon cutting. During the ceremony, the Staff provides a certificate of celebration, red ribbon, oversized scissors and arrives with the THCC banner.

The certificate is read to the audience and congratulations is provided.
