Thanks Darrell!
Our Chamber Board presented our outgoing Director Darrell Sarmento with a special plaque to thank him for 4 years of outstanding leadership as our Chamber Director. Darrell will begin his new position with Newton Manufacturing on June 2nd. The
Board has decided to take their time replacing Darrell and has
asked Craig Light to step in as Interim Chamber Director. You'll
 learn more about Craig in the coming weeks. He has served as the 2009 president of the Urbandale Chamber of Commerce and was also the interim director of the Newton Chamber in 2010. Welcome back Craig! Here's Craig "shopping local" with Laurie Nelson at Relics Antiques.

Before lunch they said hello to Bob LaBlanc with Edward Jones and visited the new location of the Bridal Sweet. Click on the pictures above for more highlights of their visits.
