A number of you have asked if the Chamber will be doing something special to recognize Tami Skanes before her departure this week. The answer; of course is yes! We are planning to have cake and punch for those who want to stop by and wish her well from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. this Wednesday the 23rd. This is also an opportunity to meet our new Membership Services Administrator, Tracy Patton. Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday!

ABIGAIL'S CONCIERGE

It's Going To Snow - Are You Prepared? Reserve Your Snow Plow Today! Our snow removal plow sits idle pretty much all year. But last year when it snowed it was the most popular vehicle in a 20 mile radius and was in use literally 18 hours a day. This year RSVP's are highly recommended and for those who plan ahead you can count on us to put you at the top of the list. What does it take to be at the top of the list? A deposit which is fully refundable should it not snow. If it does snow then you know that you have your time reserved with Abigail's to get you taken care of. Please call today (not on the snow day) for a reserved spot and more information.
