Greetings!    

 

What a busy and exciting week we had last week aththe Chamber.  We had our first ever (and extremely well-attended) four-chamber "Mega-Mixer", an informative monthly business luncheon and a successful (albeit very hot) golf outing.  But if you missed them, fear not - this coming Friday, we'll have our quarterly business card exchange, this time at Hurd's Family Farm in Modena, and we hear tell of some fun activities and delicious breakfast treats to get your day started off right.  If you haven't already done so, please register for the event by clicking the RSVP link below.  Hope to see you there!

  

Sincerely,

  

Michael A. Smith, president
