Presidents Corner



For those of you who may have missed the email from our office yesterday afternoon, I would like to express our sincere apologies for Secretary of State Michele Reagan’s last minute cancelation at yesterday’s Chamber Luncheon. 

Secretary Reagan’s staff confirmed her and her assistant’s arrival time yesterday morning, but unfortunately Governor Ducey called an emergency meeting with the Secretary and his staff and she was unable to break free in time to attend our luncheon.
 
As luck would have it Secretary Reagan had asked Joe Delgardo, her Voting Rights Ambassador, to also attend the luncheon and Joe was able to “pick up the baton” and provide a very entertaining commentary.  We thank you Joe!
 
Secretary Reagan reached out to our Chamber and apologized for not being able to attend and has promised to make it up to us at a later date.  We appreciate her willingness to re-schedule and are working with her staff to set a new date.
 
I want to send out a personal thank you to Bob Brink, Peter Young and Sharlene Hodgkins for doing an amazing job selling the 50/50 raffle tickets, raising additional revenue for Secretary Reagan's Charity - The Childhelp Advocacy Center of Arizona Dedicated to Linda Pope.  Many thanks for a job well done!
 
Tomorrow is the big day – our Asset Preservation $10 Million Shootout Golf Classic!  We still have a few spots for golfers available, so if you are looking for a fun way to spend your Friday afternoon call our office at 623-979-3601 and register your foursome!  Registration is at 11:00 with the shotgun start at 12:30. So go work for a few hours in the morning and then head to Trilogy Golf Club.
 
10 lucky people will get to shoot for $1 million each and everyone gets a chance at the 3-putt $30,000 cash putting contest!   We’ve got great raffle prizes and silent auction items, along with Liberty Buick in Peoria (8737 W. Bell Rd.) offering a beautiful 2017 Buick Envision for a hole-in-one on the par 3, 12th hole! 

Liberty Buick also generously supplied three other great hole-in-one prizes: a luxurious 4/day/3-night Golf Vacation to French Lick Resort, a Travis Matthew head to toe signature outfit + a $500 online shopping spree AND a Set of TaylorMade Speedblade HL Irons 4-SW!  
 
Now would be a really good time to dig in your golf bag for your hole-in-one club!

We’ve gone from famine to feast with ribbon cuttings!  Make sure you check out our event calendar and the column to the right of the fun events coming up.
 
See you on the links Friday!
 

The Millennials Corner

40th Edition of
The Millennials Corner:

​How to Maximizing your High School and College Experience​
By Emma Wolff 

“Tweet this,” “like that,” “make sure to give it a thumbs up,” “post at least twice a day, but no more than 4 times, oh and make sure to post at the proper times of the day where you are sure to get the most buzz!” 

The ins-and-outs of social media marketing are intricate but the average person can handle it. Millennials have a ton of experience using social media in our personal lives, so those skills should be easily transferable to a business’s social media needs as well. As millennials enter the workforce, they are great candidates for social media positions, but you must know the tricks to post properly.
