August eNews: Chamber Corner

With a successful SummerFest behind us, the Chamber board & staff participated in an evaluation & strategic planning seminar last Thursday, to re-evaluate what we do as a Chamber, & discuss goals to serve and support our members and our local business community in 2017. Do you have a suggestion? Your input is valuable in helping us better understand the needs of our local business community so that we can meet those needs.
