Union City School System is giving every single faculty and staff $200 in "Tornado Cash" to use at Obion County Chamber of Commerce Member stores.

If you are accepting Tornado Cash, please view it as real money and give change back. You will be reimbursed fully. If you do not want to accept Tornado Cash, please let the Chamber know as soon as possible!

These dollars have a watermark and cannot be duplicated. You can take them to the Obion County Chamber of Commerce to be reimbursed.

This holiday season, we are partnering with Union City Schools to offer Tornado Cash. Businesses that are members of the Obion County Chamber of Commerce are welcome and encouraged to accept Tornado Cash Gift Certificates for purchases of goods and services. Please review the following guidelines of the program and let us know if you do NOT want to be a “Participating Member” of the Chamber Cash Program in our upcoming Shop Local Campaign.

Who administers the Chamber Cash program?

The program is administered in-house and the Obion County Chamber of Commerce has complete control over the program and administration of the funds from it.

Denominations: Available in $20 increments.

Expiration Date: The expiration date is stamped on the certificate and is good up to the date listed.

Who can purchase them?

Our local employers can give them as bonuses, Holiday gifts, safety awards, retirement gifts and thank you gifts.

What happens when a certificate is redeemed at a member business?

When a customer presents a gift certificate to purchase goods and services, treat it just as you would if they were giving you cash. Bring the Chamber Cash into the Chamber office and you will receive 100% of the face value of the certificates. The Chamber’s intent is to keep customers shopping with and supporting our Chamber Members. The tax dollars that are kept in Obion County through this program benefit numerous programs that affect the citizens of our County.

How do customers know the businesses that are “Participating Members?”

The chamber will provide each person with chamber cash a listing with participating members. The business will also be offered a sign to display announcing that they are accepting Chamber Cash at their place of business.

Is there a fee?

No! It is considered another benefit of being a member of the Obion County Chamber of Commerce. If you are not a member of either of these organizations, you may not accept chamber cash and you will not be reimbursed for any of the dollars being used at your business. This is a perk of being an investor in the 2 organizations.

Tornado cash will have a watermark on it so that it can not be duplicated. We are excited to partner with the school system to promote shopping locally during the holiday season!
