President's Corner



Unfortunately, one of our favorite staff persons has left us.  Ruby Rojas decided to leave the Chamber last week.  We will miss her and wish her much success.

Thursday is our first PCC Rush.  A bunch of us are headed for the Twisted Italian to drop in for lunch at 11:30.  Come join in the fun – you’re going to eat lunch anyhow right??  All the details are in the column to the right.

I’m very pleased to report that we have secured Ron Sites, President/CEO of the Fighter Country Partnership from Luke Air Force Base as one of our guest speakers for the Wine & Cigars Charity event on November 4th.  There will be more surprises coming so watch for updates.

We Need Your Help!  We are looking for a piano player will to donate their time to play some background music for the Wine & Cigar event.  We are happy to promote their name or business name as a sponsor of Wine & Cigars.  Please call the Chamber office if you can help us out.

A special thank you to Mayor Cathy Carlat, Vice Mayor Bridget Binsbacher and Councilman Bill Patena for their generous support to the Chambers $10 Million Golf Classic.
