A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Chamber Members,

We are thrilled to kick off February with an exciting lineup of events and discussions aimed at enhancing our community’s civic engagement and supporting local businesses.

Join us on February 8^th for our Membership Meeting at the Felix Martin Hall where we will delve into the importance of Civic Leadership. This insightful discussion will provide valuable insights into how we can all play a role in shaping the future of our community.

Mark your calendars for February 23^rd as we organize Cash Mobs to support local businesses! Stay tuned for the announcement of the locations, and let’s come together to show our support and boost our local community. We have an array of events lined up in the coming months, including breakfast meetings, after-hours gatherings, and even a fishing tournament! These events are fantastic opportunities to network, learn, and have fun while supporting our local community.

As always, I encourage everyone to shop and eat local. Let’s continue to show our support and appreciation for all our small businesses.

I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events and meetings as we work together to make a positive impact on Muhlenberg County.

Sincerely,

Terri Rice, President
