 The Summer New Member Social was held Tuesday, July 12 at The Landing with a great crowd in attendance.

Below is some feedback from a couple of our new members about the social:
I really enjoyed the event. It had a neat set up with the barrels and the lit up background. I loved it!! It was fun getting to meet other new members and people of the Community, talking about our product in the Vet Shack. I also met 2 potential customers.
Jackie Eichenberger, NorthWest Veterinary and Supply
Thanks! I thought the event was great. My background is in working in education, so networking and getting the word out about what I do is relatively new to me. The New Member Social was a great opportunity to start making connections in a relaxed environment. I enjoyed being able to talk to other Chamber members one-on-one to see what needs Cornerstones can meet. I'd recommend other new Chamber members get involved in the next New Member Social.

CVB and NFAA host World Archery group
|
The Yankton CVB and the NFAA Easton Archery Complex had the opportunity to host a FAM tour for staff from World Archery. They arrived in Yankton July 3 and were here for 5 days. They were able to spend time here in Yankton before heading to the Black Hills for a few days. It was fun to entertain them in our great state and show them even more reasons why hosting events in Yankton is a great idea!

The Center needs your HELP!
|
The Center needs your help!
They have been selected as a finalist for First National Bank's Community First Award for their contributions toward making Yankton a successful community!
They are competing against another organization in South Dakota for a $10,000 cash donation.
You can help them win by voting for The Center now and every day through July 26th.
Please ask your friends and family to vote. Anyone from anywhere can vote.
Last year, The Center served nearly 48,000 meals and 17,000 of those meals were delivered through the Meals On Wheels Program to homebound Seniors. If they win, The Center plans to use the donation to replace some of their outdated equipment, so they can continue their vitally important mission!
God Bless You and Thank you!
Christy Hauer, The Center, Executive Director, 665-4685
