Hello Fellow Chamber Members,

We wanted to share this ad with you because you will be seeing it around the area towns soon and we would appreciate any leads that you can share with us.  Driving a school bus may even be a position that would fit well with one of your current employees who are looking to supplement their income!

Thanks, Doug Grisim
