From Your Chamber President

Rick Novotny, VP
Cornerstone Community Bank 
As we wrap up the year of 2015, it's a great time to reflect on all of the wonderful events that have happened in the Grafton community. Please plan to join us at our annual State of the Community Luncheon on January 27th. We will not only reflect on 2015 but gain insight into what 2016 looks like for the Village & Town of Grafton as well as the Grafton School District.
  
On behalf of the Grafton Area Chamber of Commerce, we hope your Holiday celebrations were filled with family & friends, love, laughter, and memories that last throughout the year.
