Volume 51                           AUGUST, 1999       

Dear Members:


    I would like to take some time to thank several groups of people who make the Chamber what it is today and what it is becoming.
     The Board of Directors is one of the most active, enthusiastic and dedicated groups of people I have had the pleasure of working with.  My last 15 years have been spent working with volunteer boards and I must say this group is very special.  Thank you for all you do for me, both professionally and personally.
     The Ambassadors are amazing.  No matter what we ask of them, they just jump right in and help out.  It's extraordinary to have a group of individuals, of this caliber, working so tirelessly for  this type of organization.  I recently attended "Institute", a five day training session for Chamber Execs, and of the 29 people in my class, I can honestly say that I was the ONLY one who didn't have a problem recruiting volunteers.  Thanks to each and every one of you.
     The Event Committees are another group of distinct individuals.  Our events are growing both in attendance and in revenue.  I believe that an event is only as good as its committee members.  So what does that tell us about our volunteers?   Thank you for working so hard.  I know it isn't always easy working an event, especially with those which are held outdoors.

       
Sincerely,


Peg Kenyon
Executive Director

P.S.    Notice the new name?  I'm getting    married  on August 7th.
