Yes, We're on the Move!
By David Collin, Busy Bees Embroidery
 The Kirkwood-Des Peres Area Chamber of Commerce is on the move in many different ways. Yes, we are still the best at creating networking opportunities. We're still the best chamber at providing educational opportunities to help you grow your business and to actually run your business. The Chamber has always been out there trying to improve the business community and deal with many things, which try to thwart business, but you may not have known about it. That is changing. Thanks to the strength of your president, Jim Wright, your board of directors, ambassadors and some other hard-working volunteers we are stepping out and getting the job done on a bigger scale.
