Chamber Updates





Happy Memorial Day Weekend-

You will see as you scroll through this weeks Chamber Chat that it has a few more categories. We have reconstructed the email and included sections for each chamber committee. As many of you know we work through our committees who each have dedicated chairs, committee members and sponsors. We wanted to give you more insight on what each is up to.

Hope that you have a nice long weekend at home or traveling and that you stay cool! 
-Peace & Love, Katie
