Letter From The Chamber |
Dear Chamber Members,
In
December of 2008, I started what would be one of the best experiences in my
life with some of the most incredible people I have ever known. After not working for several years, the
Chamber and its members took a chance and put me to work in the position of
Special Events Coordinator and Office Manager. Since the first day I sat down
behind my desk, I can truly say I have enjoyed every day that I have been with
the Chamber. Not only have I been able
to meet and interact with people from all over the State, but visiting with the
people from other countries that have passed through our door has been a true
learning experience. This place we call
the Delta has become such an attraction and I would have to say that the
Chamber deserves an enormous amount of credit for making our home "a different
kind of Delta". Now
my life has taken a new turn, and at the end of the month I will be leaving
Cleveland and making a new home for myself in Brandon. Part of me is very excited about trying
something new as I have always been a real homebody who was always a little
afraid of "stepping out of the box". Then there is the greater part of me that will miss everyone I have
known all my life, those I have had the opportunity to get to know much better,
and those five wonderful co-workers of mine. We all are really a true "fit" with one always there for the other. I will miss you guys and this wonderful town
I have called home for 50 years. There's
not another like it...that I know for sure.
Frances Janoush Special Events Coordinator and Office Manager
