The Chamber wants to take this opportunity to say how much we appreciate.....
Michael Walker! 
He has an Enhanced Chamber Membership and jumped right in as an Ambassador the minute he joined the chamber. Michael especially went over and above to organize and lead our volunteer crews at the recent Comedy Night. Michael is mortgage broker with RPM.
Thank you, Michael!
