360 ELECTRIC

952-905-0360

www.360electricmn.com

Owner, Jared Geurts has almost 20 years of master electrician experience. He started doing commercial work, then worked with custom built homes and working mostly in the metro the last 10 years, until he decided to branch out on his own. He enjoys home remodels, troubleshooting, providing home safety inspections, can upgrade your electrical panel, install indoor/outdoor lighting, rewire whole homes and do emergency repairs.

Basically, anything to do with electricity - he's your man!

What Jared offers, is a comfortable approach to his service, charging only $59 for a service call. From there, he will have a conversation and give you an estimate for the work you want provided. He wants you to feel comfortable with his work and know that your hard-earned dollars are getting the best bang for their buck.

When he's not playing with electricity, he's cheering on his local sports teams, hiking or skating with his wife and two kids!

WE WANT TO SAY A BIG THANK YOU TO OUR DIAMOND SPONSORS

We can't say how much we appreciate you! And the high school seniors who receive the scholarships will appreciate you too! We added a new Diamond Level sponsor this week - Integriprint!! That makes a total of 17!! Will be a beautiful sunny 80 degree day, as always, on May 29th!

We are pretty much full on golfers - isn't that amazing? We could take a single or a threesome if you are still interested in playing - just let us know!

THE HERD HAS ARRIVED!!

For those of you who ordered a statue - the herd has arrived! I am having the woodworkers at the toy shop make a wood base. Those should be here by the end of the week if you want to plan to pick up your statues next week. Please email me if you have a day or two in mind that works for you to be sure Melissa or I are here: sue@buffalochamber.org.

I have details on steps to paint and what vinyl costs are if you would like to have Integriprint create your logo for you as they did for me here at the Chamber. We chose to keep the Chamber buffalo white as he stands out great in our front window. You can color away!! I'm excited to see the herd grow - so if you are interested and didn't order one - just let me know! I may have ordered a couple extra!!

MEMBER ANNIVERSARIES CELEBRATED

We enjoyed getting out and celebrating member anniversaries last Friday! CRS celebrated 15 years, Loberg Electric 25 years and both Culver's and Morries Ford celebrated 30 years as a Chamber member. We couldn't do what we do without you all - thank you for your continued membership!

Sheila Zachman will help you with any of your commercial real estate needs!

Brian at Loberg's got some Buffalo Bucks in the mail to enjoy spending local. He is a busy guy - which is great!

You can't get much better than this - when the owner is behind the counter happily serving his guests!! Thanks Jeremy/Culver's for being such a great part of our community.

I could take either one of these vehicles home with me! Ford is giving employee pricing to everyone for a period of time to help in these tough financial times.

When looking for a well-established law firm with lawyers that enjoy serving our local area, look no further. Johnson, Larson & Peterson started in 1905 with Walter Johnson as the founder. It has since grown to 5 attorneys with a total of 94 years practicing law! Most of that history comes from Jan Larson and John Peterson, both Buffalo/Waverly natives!

They along with Amy Trehey, Rozlyn Scott and John's son Charles make up the 5 attorney firm along with the help of Missy and Chris as support people - who together have worked there over 50 years! What do they do with all this history and experience? Share it with you in these areas: Estate planning, real estate law, personal injury law, family and business law, wills and trusts, guardianships and conservatorships and more! With estate planning, they say it's never too early to start the planning process. They will provide a free consultation to help you get started.

They have been at their current address out on Hwy 25/55 since 1993. The firm takes pride in working together as a team to educate people and help them understand what they want/need and how to best meet that goal. If they can't help you with something, they will find someone who will. If you have questions, feel free to reach out to their office!

MEMBER/COMMUNITY HAPPENINGS

BUFFALO COMMUNITY THEATER KICKS OFF THEIR 2025 SHOWS!

THIS weekend April 11-13th! Friday/Saturday shows at 7:30 p.m. Sunday performances at 2:00 p.m. at the Discovery School Auditorium. Help support our local arts and enjoy an evening out!

The play is set in the dining room of a typical well-to-do household, the place where the family assembled daily for breakfast and dinner and for any and all special occasions.

The actors change roles, personalities and ages with virtuoso skill as they portray a wide variety of characters, from little boys to stern grandfathers, and from giggling teenage girls to Irish housemaids. Each vignette introduces a new set of people and events. The varied scenes coalesce, ultimately, into a theatrical experience of exceptional range, compassionate humor and abundant humanity.

GET ALL THOSE DOCUMENTS SHREDDED FOR FREE - THIS SATURDAY!
