"Tina has the background and experience that we think will move the chamber forward," said James Blair incoming Chamber Board President. He pointed out that she is skilled in grant writing and administration, program management and evaluation, customer service, public speaking, and has extensive knowledge in all aspects of fundraising and recruitment. "Her experience with non-profit organizations will be very beneficial to Cody and our business community," he said.

She is proud of her ability to build relationships. "I have more than 20 years of experience as a management professional, and my previous positions have one thing in common: relationships. I have effectively cultivated relationships throughout my career, Hoebelheinrich said. She added that she has been personally touched by the beauty and grandeur of Cody Country.

Hoebelheinrich currently resides in Great Falls, MT, where she serves as the Director of Aging Services for Cascade County. Her professional experience includes serving as CEO of Great Falls' Big Brothers Big Sisters and Director of Business Office Services at the University of Great Falls.

Kibler & Kirch 25th Anniversary Celebration.
 
25 YEARS OF WELL-DESIGNED LIVING 1990-2015
 
Honoring the Founders of Kibler & Kirch: Anita Cramer, Erica Hash, Jean Foster & Rosina Kastelitz.
 
Please join us at 101 North Broadway, Red Lodge, MT to celebrate 25 years of continuous service to our community. Kibler & Kirch's founders will be on-hand Saturday, December 5, 2015 from 10:00am - 2:00pm to toast the legacy of well-designed living. The day begins with a party and giveaway of a stunning shearling chair from furniture-maker Lee Industries. All merchandise will be 25% OFF.
 
For a quarter of a century, Kibler & Kirch has been well known for our expertise in interior design and a source of American made home furnishings. Only a handful of merchants in this small resort town can attest to the hard work involved in keeping the doors open through economic downturns and seasonal ups and downs. Kibler & Kirch has also been a destination shopping experience for Billings, Cody and many other surrounding towns which has played an enormous impact on the resort economy.
 
The founders of Kibler & Kirch had such a strong passion for what they were doing they worked diligently offering services and products that clients would appreciate and cherish for many years. Each and every one of our clients was special and most have become personal friends throughout the many years. These wonderful women also possessed a true sense of community, volunteering many hours to various organizations in Red Lodge. Kibler & Kirch has been a major contributor to the employment of many people over the years.
 
The legacy lives on and our mission remains the same; enrich our customers' lives through their homes with quality products and unexpected service. We will inspire you to create a fuller, better sense of home.
 
Come help us celebrate 25 years of well-designed living, and toast to 25 more.
