THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Dear Chamber Members:

     Happy Holidays to You and Your family, Christmas is soon approaching. The end of the year is almost upon us.  Santa House is in full swing, thank you to all the countless volunteers.  The reindeer are coming December 9th.  Safety Day events will be at Home Depot on December 2nd.  Breakfast with Santa at the Holiday Inn will be on December 16th. 

     On December 11, the Chamber Luncheon will have Senator Rauschenburger.  December 1st is our annual combined Holiday After Hours party with the LDC. Thanks to Tailgaters and Bill Palmer.  So much to do! So little time to do it in! 

     I hope in this hustle and bustle that you will take time to reflect on what is really important this season in your life, family, friends, and your faith. 

     I want to take this opportunity to thank the Board of Directors for your extra mile participation in all our events.  You all have out done yourselves in taking every event to a level of professionalism and class. 

     To Peg & Joyce you are the best, thank you for making us all look good.  To all the chamber members that faithfully come to all our luncheons and events thank you.
