The staff of North Oaks Golf Club for welcoming us and helping us put on a first class gala.

To YOU, our members for attending and showing your support for this great organization. You are the reason we are a success!

THANK YOU!

Attention Chamber Members ~
 
I encourage you to attend our December Government & Public Affairs Committee.
Tom Forsythe the Vice President of General Mills Government Affairs will be our guest.
 
Mr. Forsythe is a business representative on the MnSure Board which is the Minnesota site for the Affordable Care Act.   We will discuss potential venues to make MnSure more accountable for the business community.

The Government Affairs Committee meets on Tuesday, December 17th at Washington Square Bar& Grill at 7:30am.
 
Also, with the new economic forecast for Minnesota showing over a billion dollar surplus, it is important to contact our legislators and encourage them to rescind the business to business sales taxes that were passed in the waning hours of last year’s legislative session. Eliminating these proposed taxes will boost job growth and economic development in Minnesota.

If you would like the contact information for your Legislator please call or e-mail me at tom@whitebearchamber.com.
