From the Directors Desk:

Happy Fall! 
I cannot stress enough please do not to sit, stand or climb on the lions. We were heartbroken to see another lion get destroyed.  Measures are being taken to ensure the security of the lions, but rest assure the lion is being fixed. 

Be sure to check out our exciting news in the colum to the left! I would like to sincerely thank Rett Smitley for the wonderful photo she has gifted the Chamber.  Rett had a photo of the 75/76 Marshall Fire Department team standing at the original firehouse, which is the garage next to our now Marshall Chamber of Commerce building, formally City Hall. Rett had it blown up and put on canvas, she also has identified all the members of the team on the back. Thank you Rett, we will proudly display this bit of history! 

Some upcoming events to take note of, the Practice steps in succession planning, the scarecrow contest, trunk or treat, Chamber investor appreciation breakfast and to complete our year, Bingo! 

Lots of fun and exciting adventures coming from your Chamber! Be sure to let us know if you would be interested in setting up at the Trunk or Treat.  

GO LIONS!,
