It's all about our Members!
I love celebrating our members which is why the Quarterly Milestones is one of my favorite pieces to write in the newsletter. We celebrate the backbone of the chamber, YOU!
This quarter we had four members who are celebrating 20 years and four who are celebrating 19 years. This is important as we are a
member driven organization which is as strong as the members involved. When I first moved to St Helens, I met my neighbor Jack Sweeny who said he used to be Chamber Chair 33 plus years ago back when he ran the Chevron Station. He bragged about how strong the chamber was back in the day.
It's not surprising as the chamber was incorporated in 1947. That means next year, we will celebrate 70 years!
Here's to another productive four months ahead of us to make us a stronger business community as we move forward together.
Love the chamber; invite your business associates to join!
Take time to celebrate you!
Together we can make a difference.
Make it a great day!
