Message From The Chairman 

"Chair Chat" 

by David Collin, Busy Bees Embroidery     

Here's something I don't think I wanted to hear myself say: 

Spring 2011 lasts until June 21st. Well we didn't have a big spring, just lots of rain and don't forget the cool temperatures when we didn't expect them. Then we jumped into the frying pan.

But the really startling revelation is also on calendar. June 21st is the start of summer and at the same time the days will grow shorter and shorter and before you know it the snow will be flying and it's dark by 5 PM.

Now, you know that when I throw out one of these stupendous revelations from facts we've all known forever, I have a request in here somewhere. This time I'm asking you to consider all the great opportunities your Chamber offers you. One is the new Chamber Business Boot camp about technology and your business. Last year I could hardly spell "customer relationship management" and now everybody is throwing those three initials, "CRM" at me left and right. I'd better get it figured out and I'm betting the Boot Camps will help me do just that.
