Good News!
Chamber PCN Group #2 Gives Back!
Today PCN Group #2 held it's annual Christmas Party! A good time was held by all. As part of the admission, each attendee brought one new unwrapped toy. After the festivities were over we were able to donate 37 toys and $67 dollars to The Rainbow Connection. Additionally, Brian Willoughby of Willoughby's Beyond Juice catered the event and will be donating 10% of his proceeds to this worthy charity!
Our PCN's mission of "Better networking through volunteerism and charity" has certainly been our continuing mantra and I am extremely proud of my fellow member's efforts to improve our community this year!

Harbor Springs get-a-way!
Winter weeks AND weekends are available!
 - The pines are whispering to you, the faint smell of hard wood pluming from chimneys and yes, that's you....sitting in front of the fireplace after a day of downhill skiing, cross country, snowmobiling, snowshoeing or snowballs! Boyne and Nubs Knob are just up the road, about a 7 minute drive (about 4 - 5 miles) from the condo door!
- Maybe the idea of a good long swim in the indoor pool followed by a, Jacuzzi or a toasty sauna and a movie or book by the fireplace is more appealing!
- Out on the town? Harbor Springs and nearby Petoskey offer an array of excellent restaurants and shopping as well as the new (2009) Odawa Casino in Petoskey.
This is the ideal place to take the entire family, group of friends or just escape by yourself..... or maybe with someone special.
3.5 Bedrooms, 2.5 baths
completely appointed for your enjoyment. JUST SHOW UP!

Your support will help us to provide food, toys, and other necessities at Christmas and throughout the year, which will bring smiles to many faces young and old, and "cheer" the hearts of those whose lives you have helped touch.
Cans are available for pick up and may be signed out for at the Chamber on November 12, 2010 and can be dropped off at the end of the holiday season, December 23, 2010 at the Chamber office.
You are not liable if something were to happen to the can, we are grateful for your time and inconvenience in encouraging your patrons to give.
Thank you very much,
Major Nathan Johnson
