Ethic Fails and How to Avoid Them
 
#WhatWouldYouDo?   The   Chamber's Education Committee  will pose this question to a group of middle school students on Tuesday, December 6 from 9:00am to noon. The program, formally known as  Ethics Day,  is an extremely popular and rewarding experience for participating students and volunteers.
