Chamber Connection
February 12th 2016

Thank goodness it's Friday!  And for those of us lucky enough, a long weekend as well.  
This weekend is a fun treat in Richmond.  If you can, you really should go watch the Mr. Valentine's Pageant.  It is a very fun, entertaining event with the proceeds going to a very deserving family that has done so much for our community!  
 If you would like to have something included in our weekly blast, please email me by the Wednesday prior to your event with the details.  

Feel free to share this e-blast with your friends and co-workers!
