Here is what people are saying about our Chamber of Commerce:

Many thanks, Marcia, for enabling SCORE to be a part of the EXPO!
You made this a constructive and easy to carry out experience . . and we were impressed by the crowds that were attracted. And everybody's friendliness and manner. We also appreciate the location that you assigned to us. Overabundance of good food was the only problem since it jeopardized our diet . . but this is a nice challenge.
For all you did, many thanks . . Vic Cole for Santa Barbara SCORE

Happy Email from Enterprise Fish Co.

Hi Annmarie,
Thanks again for changing the calendar (thank you Nancy). We are all out of the mini menus at the moment, but I am going to get you some brochure sized ones to hold you over until we get more of the little one!
Thanks again for all of your support, we have been getting TONS of people in with our coupon from the map!!!!

Steve, thanks again, so very much, for giving me your valuable time today. We all have limited minutes on this earth, and I really appreciate your sharing some of yours with me.
And you gave me not merely time, but brilliant, studied insights. My challenge is to be sure that whatever happens, I proceed with good information and truth on my side.Your expertise, life experience and wisdom will help me do that.
As I mentioned, it would be of great help if you could offer me the contact information of other community leaders you believe might speak with me, as well as leaders of other chambers in our region.
I only wish I had met you many years earlier so I could have absorbed more of your good sense. Thanks again for meeting with me.

I recommend you call Steve Cushman, EVP for the Santa Barbara Chamber of Commerce. The Business Leaders is pretty powerful. I belong. $2,000/year. 4 luncheons a year to promote yourself and business. You could come as my guest. Steve, might have some other ideas and venues, too. Marcia Reed, is second in command and a great contact. Both are "mover and shakers" who are really fun and with big hearts!

Do you know I received a lay-off notice the day before the breakfast and you saved my job, I turned to my boss and asked if I should share my letter!?!
You guys ROCK!
