| Greetings! |
It will be September in a very short time. Back to school for the kids and teachers, less vacation, possibly more rain, and definitely fewer hours of daylight. But your Chamber is still here and working for you regardless of the changes going on outside. We have a great Fall line up of speakers and/or events, and hope that there will be something for everyone.
Our highlight of the year, the Diamond Awards, is coming up fast. During our November luncheon time, we will again host the Diamond Awards at the Golf Club. Please start thinking about those folks around you who are worthy of winning an award, and nominate them! Nomination forms can be found on the Chamber Website, and should be completed and turned in by October 15th.
