Greetings!
Please note that we are back at Tapatio's starting in January. Thank you to Regency Newcastle for their hospitality over the past three months. Brian Prouty from the Coal Creek YMCA will be the January speaker. Fitness resolutions are always a big one this time of the year so I thought the timing was appropriate.
 
I am looking forward to remaining as Chamber Chairman and to another successful year in 2010. Collaborating with our new officers and the new slate of board members, we will aim for even more ambitious goals in 2010. I appreciate your support of the Greater Newcastle Chamber of Commerce and wish you a prosperous 2010!
