A Holiday Message from the PRCC
|
We've been reflecting on what has been a great year at the Petoskey Regional Chamber of Commerce. All of us on the staff are proud to serve you, our members, and we enjoy the privilege of representing a community that we dearly cherish. We try hard to not take for granted the kind support of the business community and we take seriously the responsibly of serving the membership with meaningful and relevant programming. After all, the chamber is your organization and it's our responsibility to assure that we meet your high expectations.
We would love nothing more than to be able to bring some much-needed snow to the region, and our hearts go out to those businesses that are dependent on abundant snowfall. Please join us in extending our appreciation to the professionals at Boyne Resorts and Nub's Nob Ski Area who have been able to make something out of nothing in order to offer skiing for our guests during the holiday week. They did remarkable work that supports us all in some way.
No matter your religion, or your beliefs, this season brings all of us a time of reflection, feelings of gratitude, and wishes for peace and kindness. The Petoskey Regional Chamber of Commerce staff wishes you a joyous holiday season.
