Rick Novotny

It has been an honor to serve as your Chamber President over this past year and I want to sincerely thank of all of our board members who helped the Grafton Chamber of Commerce maintain the "Gold Standard".  A special "Thank You" to Sharon McKelvey and Matt Schroeder for your service to the board and the Chamber, you will be missed!  A huge "Thank You" is also in order for our dedicated, hard working staff, including Executive Director, Pam King and Program Coordinator/Administrative Assistant Lisa Taubner, who make the chamber a top notch organization that works tirelessly for all of our members.
 
You should have the Chamber's Annual Dinner at the BOG on your Calendar (May 18th) by now....since this is my last newsletter, this is my final "plug"!  I invite you to join me on my last day of Presidency to honor Mike Donahue, our Outstanding Business Person, The Bridge Inn, Outstanding Business, Gary Helm, Village Superintendent of Public Works, our Outstanding Public Servant and Fran Grant, GHS Science Teacher as our Outstanding Educator, all of whom have made a difference in the Grafton community.  I hope to see you all there!
 
I have truly enjoyed building closer partnerships over the past year and look forward to what the future holds.  Thank you for the privilege of serving as your 2015/2016 Grafton Area Chamber of Commerce President.
 
Sincerely,
     
Rick
