There's much in store in Grafton this month including our Annual Meeting and Awards Dinner on May 14th . This event is not to be missed as we recognize important local businesses and individuals who truly make a difference in our community. Join us in honoring these resourceful and creative folks with clear vision and foresight who have found ways to make great things happen in Grafton.
It's been an honor serving as your Board President this past year. I have truly enjoyed working with our wonderful board and committed staff members. Special thanks to Pam King and Lisa Taubner, who keep our chamber running smooth all throughout the year.
Remember your Chamber serves as a resource and referral source for your business. We look forward to our continued partnership.
