Over the years, Jane Widmer, Janet Flamm Jenny, and most recently, Patti Parker have done this and now I have been offered to take it over and am so excited to do so. The Welcome Club is made so successful only by the business owners who choose to sponsor it. The cost is $25 per month and the business supplies what they want to put in the bag. A brochure, novelty item, business card or a coupon are what are currently in the bags. I will visit approx. 25 new residents each month, give them a bag, and help make them aware of what our great town has to offer. The club has never charged churches, civic organizations or not for profit. I feel that, you as a business owner, participating in the Welcome Club, also helps support these organizations and churches. I was a business owner in Highland for 25 years and in 2021, sold it only to realize how much I missed the public. So when Patti called and asked if I wanted to take over, I was thrilled!! I love this town, our businesses, and it's people. I will work closely with our Chamber of Commerce and our City to bring you, the business owner, the best exposure I can. I hope to set up a Facebook page soon. I am open to any and all suggestions and would love to see the Welcome Club grow and can only do so with your support. Soooo, who wants to hop on board and be a part of this awesome club and help fill those welcome bags with lots of goodies?? Thank you and thanks to the sponsors who support the Welcome Club!
