CHAMBER UPDATES
There's a new face - and voice - at the Chamber this spring! Janet, a volunteer through Reemployability, recently started with us. If you haven't received a call from her, you will! She's been reaching out to members with information about upcoming events. She's in the office most days from 7 am to 1 pm. Stop by and say hello!
We're busy gearing up for upcoming events, including the 5th Annual Business & Community Excellence Awards on April 21 and the 3rd Annual First Responders Luncheon on May 18. In order to increase our donation to the Law Enforcement Memorial Association (LEMA) and the Minnesota Fallen Firefighters Memorial Association (MFFMA), this year we're holding a raffle. More information about the event will be available soon, but in the meantime, if you are interested in sponsorship or donating items to the raffle, please contact DJ at the Chamber office!
Just a reminder that DJ and Sara are often out of the office at events and meetings. You may want to call ahead if you need notary or certificate of origin services or need to meet with us.
Happy Spring!

IT'S TIME YOU HAD A PLAY DATE
by Heather Peabody
Hello! My name is Heather Peabody and I am the Lead Laugh Generator with The Peabody Players. The Peabody Players perform Improv Comedy at the Holiday Inn Mpls NW-Elk River in Otsego.
The Peabody Players started six months ago with two missions: to put smiles on faces and to provide quality entertainment that you don't have to drive to the Cities to get. In our short six months, we have put smiles on the faces of more than 1,500 people! If you haven't been to a show, I would like to personally invite you! I promise you'll have a great time! The Peabody Players even offer a guarantee -- laugh or your money back!
We also specialize in corporate entertainment. Our comedy troupe has a combined performance total of 100+ years! Our comedy is interactive, intelligent, CLEAN, and fun! Our holiday season is already booking up fast! Give us a call today to reserve your spot.
Thank you for supporting The Peabody Players, and we hope to see you soon!
Best,
Heather Peabody
