Chamber Update
Chamber Golf Outing! Thursday May 30th!
This is the week to sign-up! More details  to the right. Please join us! Cardinal Hills is excited to be our host course this year and we have more sponsors and prizes than ever. Only 80% of our Chamber budget is covered by the membership dues so events like this help pick-up the slack and provide the seed money for new events like our Annual Business Awards other efforts.
Welcome New Chamber Members!
In case you missed them, here are some recent additions to the Newton Chamber! Click on their name for more information and watch for more details on them and other new Chamber Members. Welcome!
Watch for more details and a ribbon cutting very soon.

| LINKS to Business Blogs & Resources
This list changes now and then but these are great resources for anyone running a business or organization, small or large, for profit or not-for-priofit.
Co-author of "The Go-Giver", one of our recommended books. It's all about doing business with those you know, like and trust. If you are in sales or want to understand the power of networking, this is a great blog.
If you want to be remarkable, Seth will help you get started. We recommended his book "The Big Moo" but he has much more to say. Great for marketing ideas too.
Facebook? Twitter? You'll find resources, links and articles for all of the all the latest tips and trends in social media.
Why do many small businesses fail? Michael Gerber wrote a book called the E-Myth (The Entrepreneaur Myth - Voted #1 business book by Inc. 500 CEOs.) to examine that fact, and he's been coaching hundreds ever since.
