From the Chamber of Commerce
June 10th, 2019

June will mark the first full month in my new role as the Chamber Director. A few weeks ago we had to say goodbye to Chamber Assistant Diane Martin who has been with us for 5 years. Diane was the glue that held everything together. She was the voice on the phone or the face at the Welcome Center and the behind the scenes organizer for our Business After Hours, Member Services, SandwichFest, Holly Days and so much more. We will miss her! Diane is heading back to her roots in Manchester NH to be closer to family and grow her real estate business.
Starting today, June 10
th
, we welcome our newest staff member Stacy Hylinski as the Assistant Director. Stacy lives in Sandwich and has a background in administration, sales, membership support, event coordination and social media marketing. I think we will make a great team and we would love the opportunity to meet as many of our members as we can. So come by our beautiful Welcome Center or we will be stopping in to see you!
We are both excited to kick off the summer and wish our members a great season and rest of the year. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you!

The Plymouth office will be open and prepared to see patients as of May 30, 2019.
