I hope 2015 has been a great year for you so far! Despite the frigid temperatures, we had a big turnout at the Women's Networking Group's breakfast featuring "You Are What You Eat - Start the New Year Off Right" presented by Cathy Zolner of Nourish to Flourish. Thanks to Diggins Video Productions, you can watch Cathy's presentation on the chamber's YouTube channel. Special thanks to American Alarm & Communications for hosting all of our Women's Networking Group breakfasts (and providing the much needed coffee!), This Organized House and Nourish to Flourish for bringing the delicious (and healthy) breakfast, and Whole Foods Markets for the awesome goody bags!

I was sorry to miss the After Hours Networking Event at Common Ground due to illness. I hope you had chance to catch up with friends and make some new connections. Thank you to Rodney Kangiser and his staff at Common Ground for being our hosts and providing the delicious appetizers.

Please take a few minutes to read this newsletter. We have some great upcoming events and new members to introduce you to.

As always, if you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to email or call me.

Best,

Jenn
