Hello April & Hello Members!


Beginning this month, the Chamber will be migrating to two newsletters per month.


The first one, Chamber Connections, will focus on Chamber and Community Events plus Member Spotlights and Member-to-Member Discounts.


The second Newsletter will include the Message from A.J. Baynes, business resources, member news, job openings, volunteer opportunities, insurance and benefits updates.


Our members have so many amazing happenings that it became too much for one communication!
