 From the President 
Costco has relocated to a new 150,000 square foot location in the London Square Plaza on 137th Avenue and 124th Street. Chamber South was well represented at the VIP preview Thursday evening. Chamber South Chairman Bob Gallaher and I were on hand Friday morning to assist with the ribbon cutting along with more than 230 employees as the doors opened for the first time! Congratulations to Costco manager Jeri Phillips for a successful grand re-opening and to Woolbright, the property manager, for their part in this endeavor. Costco features many new departments and includes a gas station where the prices are some of the lowest we have seen.

Chamber South Mission
The mission of Chamber South is to maintain a leadership role in the community through programs, services and events that will enhance the quality of life and economic well being of South Miami, Kendall, Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay and Greater South Dade. The link between our quality of life and a thriving business community is undeniable. Without jobs, there is no commerce. Without commerce, there is an erosion of education, recreation, families, the arts and public safety. Chamber South strives to improve the quality of life of area residents by working to improve business conditions. It is the strong belief of the Chamber that businesses must be successful for the community to flourish as a whole. Chamber South has a responsibility to help its members and communities thrive. Will you do your part keep our quality of life strong?
