Get Your Dates In The Chamber Calendar 

One of the many advantages to being a Chamber member is getting your events posted on the Chamber's Online Calendar.  We have many non-profit members, churches, schools, and businesses that host wonderful events throughout the year and want to make sure that the community is aware of these great opportunities. 

As you are planning your events, be sure to plan on posting your event on our Calendar & Events Page.  If you scroll down the page, you will see a button, which will take you to the page explaining how this process works.  Click the button again, and you will be able to enter your event information.  Your event will be pending until our review.

Get The Most From Your Membership

Are you utilizing all the features offered from the back office?  Is your TCS page set up? Did you know that you can see how many people look at your directory listing?  Did you know you could offer special discounts to other Chamber members?  If you are confused by these questions, I would guess that you are missing out on some of the benefits that could help promote your business.  We would be happy to meet with you and help explain how to set up, find, and/or take advantage of these and many more benefits.  Please call the office and ask for Penny to set an appointment.

Heart and Soul Yoga with Sharon Schmitz

I'm so excited to announce that Heart and Soul Yoga with Sharon is moving into a new space beginning Feb. 1!
 
The space will be located at 1103 Broadway - just down the road from my current space.  It will continue to be in a lower level allowing for the serene/quiet space, but will have a more polished feel as it is being renovated and updated!
 
To enter the new space - use the FRONT door of the building that faces Broadway (closest to the square) and use the stairs to go down to the new studio.  Parking is available behind the building, on the square, or along the road on Broadway.
 
I'm excited about this move that has been prompted by the end of my lease at the current space.  I have signed a two-year lease, so I plan to be at this current space for a while!
 
Come join me starting with new class schedule beginning Jan. 5 (at the current space of 1108 Broadway) and then continue with the class at the new space on Feb. 1.
 
(To help you visualize the buiding space - it is on the corner next to the square.  Also in the building is Travel One, A Chocolate Affair, Leaps of Love and Highland Printers.)
 
I'm excited and ready for this next phase in my small business! 
I am so grateful for your continued support by attending classes at my studio!  I look forward to guiding you in your yoga practice in 2020!
