Happy Autumn!

 

We need a few more volunteers for this Sunday's Fall Harvest Fest so if you have two hours to donate, please call our office right away!

 

It's not too early to think about renewing your 2015 membership.  I will be sending renewal invoices out this month for your 2015 Member Investment renewal.  It will be important for you to have the invoice paid by December 31st in order to have your business/organization listed in the 2015 Chamber Directory. 

 

Do we have your updated business profile on our website?  Please review the member directory online and review the description listed there.  If you need any changes please e-mail Ande.
