Letter from the Presidents:
|
|
We want to welcome everyone to our fall event, the Celebration of Progress being held this year at the Bright Grandview Golf Course. This is a key event to focus on Eastside neighborhoods and volunteer of the year, while raising money for scholarships for East High School, North High School, and Grand View University.
September is a very active month for the Chamber, with no shortage of opportunities for networking, whether it be celebrating a new business ribbon cutting or attending a Business After Hours to visit a fellow member's facility.
Your input is vital to our organization, and in September, we have two ways for you to share your views. First, you will be receiving a call from a board member, if you have not already, to discuss how the Chamber membership is working for your business. Second, a survey will be sent out later this month requesting information for the boards to use in planning the future of our chambers. Please take a few minutes to talk to the board member and complete the survey.
Thanks to all of you for your membership!
