It's hard to believe that it's November. If your schedule is like mine this year has flown by. November means cool temps, leaves falling from the trees and the Chamber's Membership breakfast. This year's membership breakfast is Thursday, November 8th at the Hilton Garden Inn. It's an important event where you'll learn about the Chamber's accomplishments for 2018 as well as its focus for 2019. The new board members will be announced and the awards for Rookie of the Year and Member of the Year will be given out. In addition, each committee chairman will be given the opportunity to speak about their committee. They'll give an overview of each committee. They'll profile what makes a good member of the committee as well as detail the committee's goals for 2019. Committees are at the heart of the Chamber of Commerce. Without them the Chamber wouldn't be able to pull off events such as the golf outing, the Charlemagne Awards and, yes, the Membership Breakfast. If committees are the heart of the Chamber, then committee members are the lifeblood of the committees. Each and every committee is looking for new members; but they are also looking for new ideas and new blood to help them grow and flourish. We all have busy schedules. None of us has enough time, but if you can find two hours a month to give to a committee I guarantee you'll not only help strengthen the Chamber, but you'll also strengthen your business.
