Greetings!
The Holiday season is here, I hope you are ready!
The Chamber is offering several opportunities for you to network and gather with friends this month. Check out our calendar of events for our events and special holiday events offered by our members. See our website calendar for all the latest updates.
For some light reading we offer......the Health care bills.
For your members that are wondering what is in the House and Senate health care bills, here is a link from the Kaiser Family Foundation that has a side by side comparison of both bills as they now stand.

Success Tip
Business networking is a marketing method by which business opportunities are created through networks of like-minded business people.
Many business people contend business networking is a more cost-effective method of generating new business than advertising or public relations efforts. This is because business networking is a low-cost activity that involves more personal commitment than company money. |
