From the Chamber President:
Everyone, it's a new year to start positive, fresh, involved, and fully committed to the goals and objective you want in life, business and community. I want to leave you with one more week of some i
nspirational and motivational quotes from last week that might help you with the new year as a
entrepreneur or business owner.
"It does not matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop."
~ Confucius
"Quality means doing it right when no one is looking."
~Henry Ford
"Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway."
~ John Wayne
"When I dare to be powerful – to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid."
~ Audre Lorde
"To be successful, you have to have your heart in your business, and your business in your heart."
~ Thomas Watson, Sr.
"Don’t let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning."
~ Robert Kiyosaki
"Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success."
~ Swami Vivekananda
"I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work."
~ Thomas A. Edison
"You’ve got to say, I think that if I keep working at this and want it badly enough I can have it. It’s called perseverance."
~ Lee Iacocca
"To succeed… You need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you."
~ Tony Dorsett
"Capital isn’t scarce; vision is."
~ Sam Walton
"A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business."
~ Henry Ford

THEATRE 29 ANNOUNCES THE CAST FOR “THE ODD COUPLE”
Theatre 29 and Director Katie Fleischman have announced the casting for the debut show of the 2018 season, The Neil Simon Classic Comedy, “The Odd Couple”.
"The Odd Couple" is the story of two suddenly single pals — a sloppy sportswriter and a fastidious news writer – who strain their friendship by becoming roommates and unconsciously repeating the same mistakes they made in the marriages they just left. The New York Times said that Neil Simon’s skill is “Not only great but constantly growing. There is scarcely a moment that is not hilarious.” The humor of this timeless classic has led to numerous television and movie spin-offs.
Performances will be weekends from January 19
th
-February 4

, 2018, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:00 P.M. and Sundays at 2:30 P.M.
