Bethesda Celebrates North Pointe & 125 Years
Congratulations to Bethesda on the ribbon cutting of Bethesda North Pointe in New London. What a great turnout to celebrate Bethesda's 125th year with the opening of a beautiful new campus! Michelle Haefner - President/CEO and Nathan Streed - Chair of the Board are pictured with Chamber Ambassadors Dawn Stahl (U.S. Bank), Sam Quam (GlenOaks Senior Living Campus), Alana Ziehl (Kandiyohi County Food Shelf), Chamber President Ken Warner, Dave Feist (TPI Hospitality), Doug Kuehnast (United Prairie Bank), Jim Rudnick (CDS), and Michelle Marotzke (Mid-Minnesota Development Commission).
Red Carpet Tickets
What’s better than two dueling pianos? Two dueling guitars delivering a fast-paced, audience-interactive experience with a non-stop stream of great sing-along songs and big comedy! Having rocked a thousand stages and strummed a million strings, Glen Everhart and Pat Balder have joined forces to create a one-of-a-kind show and openly confess to having an addiction to guitars - and great songs. Please prepare to laugh, sing, and rock and roll! The Red Carpet is the Chamber's annual fundraising event.
Re/MAX Preferred Realty Celebrates 10 Years
Congratulations to Paul Ryan and his team at Re/MAX Preferred Realty (Spicer office) on 10 years of membership! Additionally, the Willmar office has been a member for 24 years! Paul's team of agents live, work, and serve our local communities and have the experience and latest technology to make the process of selling or finding a home easier than ever. Fun fact: Paul Ryan was one the youngest to serve as the national president of the Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks. As the 2020-2021 Grand Exalted Ruler, he has traveled the country promoting not only the Elks, but also the Willmar Lakes Area community. Pictured are Chamber Diplomat Kathryn Mueller (Christianson PLLP), Jaci Miller, Kristen Lidbeck, Sharon Finstrom, Diplomat Carla Kahle-Miller (Design West Ltd), Lacey Aalderks, Paul Ryan, Jon Anderson, Joe Haen, Randy Ryan, and Diplomats Jon Schmidt (DATASuccess, Inc) and Jessica L Hanson CHt, LLC (Willmar Hypnosis).
