Chairman's Corner
 
September was a little different with the moving of our Taste of Grand Prairie from February to September and changing it to an outdoor event at QuikTrip Park.  I was not able to make it due to medical reasons but everything that I heard about it was that it was a Great Event and next year will even be better. 
 
We were honored to have Dr. Susan Simpson as our guest speaker for the September Chamber Luncheon and she also hosted the September Business After Hours at the new Dubiski Career High School on Hwy 161.  What a fantastic facility that is.  If you have not visited the campus you need to make plans to do so.
 
Speaking of Business After Hours, on October 22, Grand Bank of Texas will be hosting it at their 530 S. Carrier location.  Make plans to come and enjoy the event and fellowship.
 
This paragraph is a reprint from my letter last month but I wanted you to know that you have about FIVE minutes left to get your ad in or make changes to your ad from last year.  Contact Sara at the Chamber office quickly at 972-264-1558 or sara@grandprairiechamber.org. 
 
"The Chamber is about to send out for printing the 2009 - 2010 Community Profile and Chamber Membership Guide.  If you have not renewed your ad yet or if you would like to place an ad this is a great place to be.  It is where all Chamber members go first when looking for something they need.  
 
The year is coming to a close so don't forget to purchase your tree from the Centennial Tree Program and be sure to watch for your events reminders being sent to you thru email and make as many of those events as you can.  
 
Thank you all for supporting the Chamber, remember it is your Chamber so get involved and make it special.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
