Dear Chamber Investor,

Our weekly emails won't leave you out in the cold as we hope you find an opportunity to engage with us and others each month. What may be cold is the anticipated winter weather tonight. Stay safe and warm.

The Chamber staff enjoyed casual conversations with our members last week at our first Morning Mingle. We discussed things from signage to expansions, commercial property, new business opportunities and more. Thank you to our host, 5th & Main Coffee, in downtown Murray. Catch us next time on the last Friday of each month!

Check out our upcoming Events and Ribbon Cuttings below!

We truly appreciate your continued partnership! It is a privilege to represent our community. Invoices went out this month. Upon payment, we will deliver your 2023 Membership Decal which we hope you proudly display on your window and/or door.

We love seeing our local businesses grow which is why we were so excited to celebrate with member, H2 Health, last week at the grand opening of their new location! H2 Health has been part of the Murray community for over 15 years. Their therapists are certified and trained to treat all orthopedic injuries and pain, but also offer a wide range of services, such as balance and dizziness program, vertigo treatment, and women's health programs. Stop by and see the H2 Health team in their new location at 308 N 12th Street. Congratulations!

Join us for Business at Breakfast next month with guest speakers Laura Miller, West Regional Director of Special Olympics Kentucky, and Kris Foster, owner of Culvers of Murray. They will be talking about employing individuals with disabilities and supporting those with neurodiversity, such as autism. As it becomes more difficult to find employees and our population becomes more neurodiverse, it is a topic that will help support local businesses and our community. Please join the conversation!

Join us for our upcoming Ribbon Cutting Celebrations!
