I want to thank Chamber Board member, George Stadler of Ameristar, for hosting the Leader in Me reception for our newest participating school, Dana Road. This was an opportunity to "Sharpen the Saw" during the "Leader in Me" training allowing all Leader in Me Vicksburg Warren School District participating school employees to relax. It was also an evening to recognize our most generous community sponsors.

Thanks for attending our monthly luncheons and staying active in the Chamber by your participation and leadership on the executive committee, our Board of Directors, the retirement committee, the ambassadors, and/or the Leadership Vicksburg Advisory Committee. Always feel free to share your comments and/or concerns with me.
