Thank you...thank you...thank you...
  • Lynae Slinden at Island Framery
  • the Clinton Progressive Association
  • Beverly Graham
  • Fern Ridge Alpacas
...for your involvement in creating a warm and inviting gathering (in spite of the frigid air) on Saturday, December 5th to herald in the lighting of the new Frasier fir tree at the Clinton Community Hall.
  • Lynae initiated the community event by inviting local shop owners to join her in a collective holiday open house as she introduced Chris and Joy, the new owners of Island Framery
  • the Clinton Progressive Association adjusted the date of the tree lighting to coordinate with the shop owners' extended hours
  • Beverly Graham came on very short notice to lend her amazing voice and gracious spirit to the event, leading an intimate group in carol singing
  • the Schlomanns, of Fern Ridge Alpacas, brought 2 of their Paca-deers (alpacas in reindeer antlers) to add a four-legged flair to the event.
And on a different note, please see details, below, on our next (and last) scheduled training to help you develop your personal web page on the Chamber website. Reserve Saturday, December 19th, from 9 am to noon to create a page that you can then change whenever you choose.

Enjoy the week!

Reiki Body Work by Andrea Binder   
 
REIKI BODY WORK by ANDREA BINDER
 
New Chamber member Andrea Binder of Reiki Body Work is making a special offer to Clinton Chamber of Commerce Members. She is offering an
introductory session for $40 for first Reiki session. This is for people to come and see what this very relaxing, stress-releasing session is about. Wearing comfortable clothes and resting on a massage table, the client receives gentle adjustments to body. The session feels a lot like a soothing meditation or as if you've just finished a yoga class.
We can all use less stress in our lives and his sounds like a great opportunity to relax and rejuvenate.
