Dear Chamber Members,

We have been listening to you! In an effort to streamline our communications, we will now be sending this Weekly Business Planner on Thursdays. You will find information about the following week's events and other updates we think are of interest to you. We will no longer be sending daily eblasts of our routine Chamber events but will continue highlighting larger and more unique gatherings. You will still receive the Month in Motion newsletter packed with details of what's happening in the upcoming month. Pour a cup of coffee, get out your planners and make sure you are scheduled to attend a few of our valuable networking activities next week!  Stay warm!
