Chamber News

From the Desk of the Executive Director/CEO

And it's August! Where did the summer go??? I hope you've made time to take a relaxing family vacation or will do so soon before the busy school year starts back up. Let's enjoy these last few weeks of summer.

This month we invite you to join us at August Business After Hours and have lunch on us at Member Appreciation Day. Also, be sure to make your reservations for our Annual Meeting and Awards Banquet on 9/12. This is an exciting evening, where we honor our members who are celebrating an anniversary for their number of years in service to the community and also honor individuals nominated for their achievements. Read on for further details.

As always, let’s continue to ‘shop local’ and ‘support local’. Wishing you all a sunny, successful, and prosperous August!

Blessings,

Sarah
