Dear Chamber Members:

As you may know, your Chamber Board of Directors has given their endorsement of the Kyle Local Option Alcohol Proposition. We feel passage of this effort will expand our restaurant choices, support our existing restaurants by allowing them to lower costs, and recruit more entertainment venues to Kyle.

This is important as we move to achieve the goal of allowing our citizens the choice to shop/dine and spend their entertainment dollars at home supporting the local economy and tax base.

Therefore, there are two items of importance we want to bring to your attention this morning. 


We are excited to feature Bizzibiz Digital Marketing Services as this week's Member Monday spotlight! Not long ago, we held a ribbon cutting for franchise owner E.J. Josephson, celebrating his expansion to the Kyle area. In response to the question, "What value do you find in being a member of the Chamber?" E.J. writes, "Being a valued member of the Kyle Chamber has had a major impact on our business.  We have received referrals from chamber members to chamber members which has allowed us to develop relationships and grow our business. One of the aspects we really love about the Kyle Chamber is they are very proactive in finding ways to improve the business community and increase the value of being a member. Thank You!"

4 Ways To Be Brutally Honest Without Being Brutal
A mean mentor who challenges you, pundit Jodi Glickman recently argued, beats a kind and supportive one who lets you get away with doing less than your best. That's a solid bit of wisdom for those at the start of the entrepreneurial careers, but what if you yourself are the mentor? If you're a business owner with talent you'd like to mold, should you be mean? And if so, how do you go about pulling no punches and telling it like it is without ruffling too many feathers or de-motivating the very folks you're trying to nurture?

Kyle jobless rate the most promising in two years

Hays County added more than 200 jobs in March - including 34 positions in Kyle - as the countywide unemployment rate fell to 5.8 percent, according to new data from the Texas Workforce Commission. Kyle's rate of 4.7 percent in March, meanwhile, represented the city's best jobs performance in more than two years, when the jobless rate hit 4.4 percent in April 2009. March's total was down from 4.8 percent in February and 4.9 percent in March 2011.
