Chamber in Pictures
|
Memorial for Neil Robbins is Friday, April 7th, 3:00 pm at Good Shepherd Community Church. The unexpected passing of Neil, as you might expect, has come with unexpected financial challenges. The family appreciates all the Chamber has provided in the past few days. We hope you can attend the Memorial on Friday to continue to support the family.
Thinking Easter eggs? Well, Coastal Farms is a great place to shop, not just for boots and clothing, but for little chicks too.
Picture full of fun! JOIN Harvest Moorman of Salt Academy and Performing Arts Co., April 7th. JOIN Marie Anderson of Anderson Martial Arts on April 14th. JOIN new members at Buffalo Wild Wings, April 5th. And JOIN Steven and Pam Butler at Oral Hull anytime!

Hear Me Roar

 HEAR ME ROAR - Featuring Amy Roloff
Let me open your doors to new possibilities. Life is not about "just surviving," it's about
thriving and
succeeding. Sometimes remarkable opportunities just fall into your lap and other times you need determination and wherewithal to pursue them.
Amy believes her success comes from her faith and firm conviction that each person
matters, has
value and
purpose - a message she is enthusiastic to share.
After graduating from Central Michigan University, Amy worked in the high-tech world of the Silicon Valley, taught early childhood education, married and raised four children. Filming for the TLC TV show '
Little People, BIG World
' began in 2006 and shortly after that, Amy published her first book:
Short and Simple Family Recipes
.
In 2009, she founded the
Amy Roloff Charity Foundation, a nonprofit with a mission to "advocate for, inspire and add value to the lives of youth who face life challenges". To date, the foundation has raised over $1,000,000 and donated to multiple local and national and international charities.
