Dear Chamber Members...

Today the Minnesota House votes on increasing your health insurance costs by 3.5% to fund the Minnesota Health Insurance Exchange. This increase does not impact companies that are self insured.  Contact your representative if this issue concerns you.  If you need help in obtaining your representatives phone number, please feel free to call me at 651.429.8593 and I will assist you.

Also, tomorrow morning the Chamber holds its monthly networking breakfast "PerkUp!". Join us at Key’s Cafe - WBL from 7:30 -  9:00 am.  Last month approximately 30% of the attendees received referrals. This networking opportunity is designed to generate member to member leads, and unlike other professional networking groups,  PerkUp! is free,  you just  pay for your breakfast.

Hope to see you at PerkUp! tomorrow morning.
