Learn all you can from the mistakes of others. You won't have time to make them all yourself.

Fred Wallace, as an Ambassador, welcomed new members, greeted current members, and sold 50/50 tickets at our very popular Friday AM (You at 7:22) networking events. He proudly announced how many people attended each Friday along with a Friday joke during "pass the mic".

During Covid, the ambassadors continued brainstorming ways to reach out to members. Hope's Bake Shop was a popular meeting place to social distance and get yummy treats.

The Christmas Charity Breakfast AM is less than 3 months away. Planning is already taking place. In 2014 SnowCap Community Charities, My Father's House, A Community Shelter, and Human Solutions offered photos with Santa (Fred Wallace). Mark Dec 9^th on your calendar for this memorable Friday morning event.

In 2017, Office Depot hosted their Friday AM close to St. Patrick’s day. Fred was clearly into the event. Upcoming AM at Office Depot is next Friday (9/16/2022). No kilts are necessary.

Fred Wallace was grateful and happy to receive a Lifetime Membership certificate at the AM at Sunny Han's Wok and Grill in 2017. Fred was determined to greet chamber members no matter his health challenges. Even with an oxygen tank and a mobilized wheelchair, his great attitude shined. Fred’s last AM was at My Father’s House, A Community Shelter, on August 26th. Fred passed away the following Friday, September 2nd, having suffered a long-time lung disease. A memorial is planned for October.
